Talk:Disappearance of Cheryl Grimmer

ex post facto
The judge's ruling seems to be saying that even though it wasn't legally required in 1971, the modern legal requirement of an adult being present for a minor should apply. I thought ex post facto was forbidden in law? Paul Benjamin Austin (talk) 07:15, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
 * According to the Wiki page on ex post facto law "Australia has no strong constitutional prohibition on ex post facto laws, although narrowly retroactive laws might violate the constitutional separation of powers principle." It does note that "Australian courts normally interpret statutes with a strong presumption that they do not apply retroactively", but it doesn't appear that Australian law strictly disallows ex post facto.
