A group that has filed a $200 million class action against the Tasmanian Government held a protest on the steps of the Federal Court in Hobart this morning.
The group is calling itself Juries Against Illegal Laws and is claiming that the Tasmanian Family Violence Act 2004 is invalid and unconscionable.
They say the law allows for the incarceration of innocent Tasmanians on unsubstantiated accusations, without evidence and without bail.
The groups' president Ray Escobar says if the class action is successful the money will go to all the people who have suffered under the Act.
