THE Court of Appeal has quashed the conviction against the 17-year-old son of a judge who was found guilty of using the Priority Bus Route (PBR) without authorisation, after he was stopped while driving his father’s vehicle.

The ruling clarifies the use of the PBR for permit holders.

The three-judge panel ruled that the Master erred in law when she required the teen to produce a letter of authorisation that was neither mandated by legislation nor entered into evidence.
