Australia’s High Court Overturns Law designed to Criminalize Some Motorcycle Clubs. The law would have allowed police to seek court orders stopping club or organization members from associating with each other in the state of New South Wales, Australlia . Organisations where defined as any two or more people! But a member of the Hells Angels challenged the law on the grounds that it curtailed individual liberties. Similar anti-biker laws in other Australian states may now face legal challenges. The law was overturned under 2 grounds. 1- that the anti-biker law curtailed individual liberties law and had the potential to destroy democratic society.  2-that it also undermined the integrity of the courts.
