CD v Queensland Police Prosecutions [2024] QDC 150

In the legal case CD v Queensland Police Prosecutions [2024] QDC 150, the District Court of Queensland addressed an appeal concerning family law, specifically under the Domestic and Family Violence Protection Act 2012 (Qld). The appellant, CD, challenged a Magistrate's decision denying him the ability to personally cross-examine the aggrieved, citing potential emotional harm and distress for the witness. The appeal focused on jurisdictional issues, debating whether appeals against interlocutory rulings are permissible under section 164 of the Act. The court found that such appeals were not within its jurisdiction and emphasized the necessity of non-fragmentation of domestic violence proceedings. Ultimately, the application for a stay was dismissed, the appeal was struck out, and the court reserved the decision on costs.
