Bowen Harbour Board Wharf Case Dismisses Complaint

Ernest Reginald Atkinson, bowen harbour board wharfinger, charged Leslie Ferguson with disobeying an order at the Bowen jetty on April 11 1920. The court held the clause requires proof of obstruction or interference with landing and found no such obstruction by Ferguson, dismissing the complaint. The judge noted permits may be discretionary and that a wharfinger may admit legitimate business without a permit if justified. Costs awarded to the defendant with appeal anticipated.
