The review application of licensed trainer Mr Craig Demmler against the Harness Racing Victoria (HRV) Racing Appeals and Disciplinary (RAD) Board decision of 22 March 2016 was scheduled to be heard by the VCAT in the week commencing 28 November 2016.
As a result of the legal representative for Mr Demmler not meeting the timetable for the exchange of material, the VCAT have set a new timetable and adjourned the hearing date. The matter is now scheduled to be heard by the VCAT over the 5 days commencing 20 February 2017. The VCAT have previously granted a stay of proceedings (regarding the application of the penalty imposed by the RAD Board) to Mr Demmler until such time as the matter is heard and determined by the VCAT.
