In Venetia Louise Storry v Commissioner of Police & Anor [2024] QCA 66, the Queensland Court of Appeal, led by Dalton JA, addressed an application by Venetia Storry seeking to contest a prior judgment related to a traffic accident and associated penalties. Storry’s core issue was her challenge against the factual accuracy of audio evidence cited in previous court proceedings, specifically questioning the transcription of this audio without a special order, which she claimed was unknown to her. This application was essentially an attempt to revisit issues previously concluded by President Sofronoff, whom she accused of proceeding on an incorrect factual basis. Further complicating matters, Storry demanded Dalton JA to recuse herself due to alleged bias stemming from separate but related legal matters involving Storry. However, Dalton JA found no reasonable basis for recusal, noting that judicial decisions against Storry or adjustments of legal opinion in her favour did not constitute bias.
