A Local Court magistrate has been accused of misusing her detention powers, denying procedural fairness and encouraging police prosecutors to lay further charges during her tenure on the NSW mid-north coast.
Magistrate Dominique Burns, formerly a barrister practising family law in Newcastle, was appointed to the bench in February 2015 and was assigned in January 2016 to the busy Port Macquarie circuit.
