Karen Pronk, from Wilkesdale, with Kingaroy Courthouse Registrar Ben Madden<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

April 18, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

Need a JP? There’s no need to hunt through the phone book or search the internet …<\/p>\n

There’s always a JP available at Kingaroy Shoppingworld between noon and 2:00pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.<\/p>\n

The volunteer roster of JPs is administered by Registrar Ben Madden, from Kingaroy Courthouse, and has been running at the mall since about March last year.<\/p>\n

There are five on the permanent roster with about six or seven “reserves”.<\/p>\n

The JPs have a table located in a quiet spot between the post office and Big W.<\/p>\n

On duty today was Karen Pronk, from Wilkesdale.<\/p>\n

While southburnett.com.au<\/strong> was there, three people came up with different documents that required a JP to witness.<\/p>\n

Karen said the number of “customers” can vary from about four to more than 20 a day.<\/p>\n

The service is totally free.<\/p>\n

The most common requests involve certified copies of documents, statutory declarations and traffic infringement notices.<\/p>\n

The JPs cannot give legal advice but can go through documents to try to explain what has been written.<\/p>\n

“And then I say: ‘This is the kind of thing that you have to talk to a lawyer about’,” Karen said.<\/p>\n

Ben said there were about 100 JPs located in the greater Kingaroy area.<\/p>\n

Any JP that would like to assist on the Shoppingworld roster should contact Ben at the Kingaroy Courthouse on (07) 4164-0230.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
