  • Judges and Retirement Ages
    JUDGES AND RETIREMENT AGES ALYSIA B LACKHAM* All Commonwealth, state and territory judges in Australia are subject to mandatory retirement ages. While the 1977 referendum, which introduced judicial retirement ages for the Australian federal judiciary, commanded broad public support, this article argues that the aims of judicial retirement ages are no longer valid in a modern society. Judicial retirement ages may be causing undue expense to the public purse and depriving the judiciary of skilled adjudicators. They are also contrary to contemporary notions of age equality. Therefore, demographic change warrants a reconsideration of s 72 of the Constitution and other statutes setting judicial retirement ages. This article sets out three alternatives to the current system of judicial retirement ages. It concludes that the best option is to remove age-based limitations on judicial tenure. CONTENTS I Introduction .............................................................................................................. 739 II Judicial Retirement Ages in Australia ................................................................... 740 A Federal Judiciary .......................................................................................... 740 B Australian States and Territories ............................................................... 745 III Criticism of Judicial Retirement Ages ................................................................... 752 A Critiques of Arguments in Favour of Retirement Ages ........................

This dissertation challenges pessimistic readings of Woody Allen’s film that render love difficult, if not impossible. By challenging assumptions about love, this dissertation opens a dialogue not only about the representation of love, but the understanding of love.

  • How Does the Division of Power Between the Board and the General Meeting Operate?
    Elizabeth Boros* hOW DOES ThE DIVISION OF POWER BETWEEN ThE BOARD AND ThE gENERAL MEETINg OPERATE? ABsTract Constitutional provisions generally vest management power in the board of directors and courts have interpreted these provisions as establishing board primacy in managing the company. In John Shaw & Sons (Salford) Ltd v Shaw, the English Court of Appeal stated that shareholders unhappy with the way that the board is exercising its management power should either change the allocation of power in the company’s constitution or replace the directors. This article explores the feasibility of these two options, comparing the law in Australia and the United Kingdom. It finds that there are a number of legal obstacles to reallocating constitutional power, unless all that is desired is to give the general meeting a veto power. In contrast, the power to replace the board or some of the directors is more straightforward, but requires sufficient voting power and the will to use it, either directly or indirectly. I InTroduction he division of power between the board of directors and the general meeting of members has been relatively settled in Anglo-Australian law since the decision of Lord Clauson in Scott v Scott1 in 1943. This case considered the T 2 interpretation of the then default constitutional provision regarding management of a company, which gave management power to the board of directors, subject to regulations passed by the general meeting. The Court read down the general meeting’s power to interfere with board decisions by regulation and held that board power in this situation is paramount.
