1. Discuss the scenario with your group and determine who will play each of the following
roles:
1.1 Complainant
1.2 Environmental Health Officer
1.3 Food premises proprietor
1.4 Analyst
1.5 Prosecutor
2. Statements for the complainant, environmental health officer and analyst and the charge
summons sheet are located on blackboard (Moot court scenario). There is no statement for
the proprietor as they are to be cross examined.
3. To ensure that each participant has the opportunity to demonstrate his or her skills and
knowledge, each participant will be required to play roles that may involve:
3.1 presenting the prosecution case to the court (as the role of the prosecutor);

3.3 giving evidence as a witness in the prosecution or defence case.
The details regarding how this will be achieved is contained in next section.
4. The moot court will be conducted as follows:
4.1 Each group will be called individually to conduct the activity in front of a magistrate
( Kylie!). It should take approximately 30 minutes per group. Your group time is
allocated on blackboard.
4.2 The person nominated as the prosecutor will present the charges to the Court
and outline the case for the prosecution.
4.3 The complainant will give evidence (as a witness for the prosecution) –
prosecutor to examine.
4.4 The environmental health officer will give evidence (as a witness for the
prosecution) – analyst to examine (as the role of the prosecutor).
4.5 The analyst will give evidence (as a witness for the prosecution) – proprietor to
examine (as the role of the prosecutor).
4.6 The proprietor will give evidence (in the defence case) – complainant to
examine (as the role of the defence lawyer) and then the environmental health
officer to cross examine (as the role of the prosecutor).
4.7 Judgment/questions (to be carried out by the Magistrate, Kylie)!
5. How do I prepare for the moot?
5.1 Once you have selected your role, keep in mind that you will have two roles to
perform.
5.2 For each of these roles, you need to review the moot court scenario provided on
blackboard and decide what questions you would need to ask or you would likely
to be asked if you are:
5.2.1 prosecuting the case (as a prosecutor, including questions you may ask
of the magistrate and of a witness);
5.2.2 defending the case (as a lawyer for the defence, including those you may
ask of the magistrate and of a witness); and/or
5.2.3 acting as a witness (as either the complainant, EHO, analyst or
proprietor).
5.3 For the moot exercise, make sure you have your list of questions, or appropriate
responses ready for the roles you have played.
5.4 This assessment for this exercise is individual, however you are encouraged to
brainstorm the questions pertaining to your roles with your group or even practice
the moot with the your group in preparation for the exercise.
6. How will you be assessed?
Each student will be individually marked based on:

witnesses, display knowledge of court etiquette, respond to magistrate etc
(remember your role will give you the opportunity to do this).
Total Marks = 10%

prepared for the moot.
ii. The list of questions that you prepared for your allocated role for the moot
for the role as prosecutor or defence lawyer. That is, for the role when you

complainant (as per 1.1), the list of questions will be for your role as
defence lawyer examining the proprietor (as per 4.6). If your role is the
analyst, the list of questions will be for your role as prosecutor examining
the environmental health officer.

STATEMENT
My name is Susan/Samuel Baker and I live at 12 Smith Road, Collingwood.
On 10 September 2010 I drove my daughter, Mary Baker to the shopping centre at 42
Garden Road, Collingwood. I gave Mary a $5.00 note and asked her to buy a French bread
stick from the Sunny Hot Bread Bakery. Mary ran into the shopping centre and soon returned
with a French bread stick. Mary gave me $1.20 change.
When I got home I took the bread stick out of the plastic bag and placed it on a plate on my
kitchen bench. Later that day I sliced up the bread stick and put it into the microwave for one
minute and 20 seconds. I then spread liverwurst spread on several of the warmed slices of
bread.
I served the bread to my parents at my kitchen table. I took a bite of a slice of bread and as I
chewed the bread I noticed a cigarette taste in my mouth. As I chewed on the bread I
realised that there was something else was in my mouth apart from bread. I spat the
contents of my mouth into my hand and discovered a cigarette butt in the bread.
I placed the cigarette butt onto a plate on my kitchen bench and rang the health department
at the Good Governs City Council. I reported the incident to an environmental health officer,
Michelle/Michael Green, who collected the cigarette butt later that day.

STATEMENT
My name is Michelle/Michael Green and I am an environmental health officer employed by
Good Governs City Council. I am authorised under the Food Act 1984.
On 10 September 2010 I was contacted by Susan/Samual Baker who made a complaint
about a cigarette butt she had found in a French bread stick which she purchased from the
Sunny Hot Bread Bakery at the Shopping Centre at 42 Garden Road, Collingwood.
She told me she nearly vomited when she took a bite into a piece of bread and found a
cigarette butt in her mouth.
I collected the cigarette butt at about 6pm that afternoon. I placed the cigarette butt in a
plastic bag and placed it into my car dash-box.
On 28 September 2010 I took the cigarette butt into Dunn Sun and Rock, Analysts for
assessment.
On 3 October 2010 I inspected the Sunny Bread Bakery at the shopping centre at 42 Garden
Road, Collingwood. The name of the proprietor was not affixed to the food premises. I
entered the bakery and asked to speak to the manager. I was then greeted by James White
who said he was in charge of the business.
I asked James to allow me entry to inspect the back area of the bakery and he showed me
the food preparation processes employed at the bakery. On inspecting the rear of the
premises I observed the following:
 There was mould and built up grease and dirt on the food preparation benches and
walls.
 Raw chicken was stored in open buckets on the floor next to the pizza oven.
 a dough mixer was cracked and was chipped and rusty.
 There were spider webs in the corners of the ceiling and the roof timber had missing
slats where I could see into the roof cavity.
 There was no water connected to the hand basin in the food preparation area.
 The toilet cubicle was full of old boxes stacked to the ceiling and the toilet hand wash
area had no paper towels or soap.
 There were cockroaches behind the fridge.
Additionally, James was not able to produce a Food Safety Program or to identify the
Food Safety Supervisor at the premises. He said that the Food Safety Program was not
available because it was being updated at the time. He was unable to produce records of
complaints made by consumers or of temperature monitoring at the premises.
I also noticed a packet of cigarettes on a shelf above the dough mixing area. There were
many cigarette butts on the ground at the rear entrance to the bakery.
I told James that I needed to interview him formally and that he was to answer my
questions or I would prosecute him. The following exchange then took place.
Me: I need to interview you about my inspection and a complaint that council
has received. I must inform you that you are not obliged to say or do anything bu
anything you say or do may be given in evidence. Do you understand that?
7
[KMS: 10158891_1]
James Yes
Me: You are the boss at this shop and I have observed that it is unclean and
unhygienic. What do you have to say about that?
James: We are understaffed today and we had a special catering order yesterday –
the place is usually spotless but we have been under extra pressure, that’s
all.
Me: A cigarette butt was found in bread that was baked here. I saw a packet of
cigarettes out the back of the bakery. Why did you let food become
contaminated this way?
James: I don’t know what you are talking about. I don’t smoke.
Me: Okay, but there are cigarette butts on the ground at the back entrance to
the bakery. How do you explain that?
James: My staff have told me that there are several workers from other shops who
smoke out there. It has nothing to do with me.
Me: Okay, you should be aware that we might use this information against you if
the Council decides to take the matter further.
Interview concluded
I resolved to commence a prosecution against James.
