    The law governing liability arising from personal injuries occurring in the course of recreational activities is exceedingly complex.1 One of the complexities is that statutory guarantees that services be provided with due care and skill under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) can be excluded via s139A Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) (CCA), limited in its application to Commonwealth jurisdiction. Importantly, therefore, the exclusion provision is not contained in the ACL itself, nor are there equivalent provisions in the State FairTrading Acts or the CLAs.2 Photo copyright © Bill Madden nder previous consumer protection laws, and the most accurate legal descriptor of contract terms that exclusion clauses were effectively invalid, which exclude or limit liability is ‘exemption’ or ‘exception’ clauses). meant that someone injured in the course of Given the significant number of injuries that occur in the recreational activities always had the option to context of recreational activities, and the widespread use of sue for breach of consumer service guarantees.3 waivers, it is worth exploring when, precisely, such waivers UNow, if an exclusion clause is successfully incorporated are effective to deprive users of recreational services of their into a contract, such a clause will effectively preclude a rights to sue.

Where did the Dorahys come from? Why was the name so unusual that no one could pronounce it or spell it correctly? He told me that our ancestors came from Ireland, that two Dorahy brothers came to Australia when they were very young, that these brothers married two sisters - and that he had no idea about the origins of our name! That was the sum total of his knowledge of our ancestry.

  • Manly-Warringah Rugby League Football Club Limited Annual Report 2013 Football Club Chairman’S Report
    MANLY-WARRINGAH RUGBY LEAGUE FOOTBALL CLUB LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2013 FOOTBALL CLUB CHAIRMAN’S REPORT It is with great pride that I present this Annual Report 2013 to Football Club Members. In 2013, the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles have once more enjoyed a level of success that is the envy of other clubs in the NRL competition. While many of the so-called experts did not predict the Sea Eagles to make the finals, let alone the Grand Final, Geoff Toovey, his entire coaching staff, recruitment team and of course the players, proved them all wrong. I congratulate them all for an outstanding achievement in 2013. The strong winning culture that has been the hallmark of the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles over many decades has been maintained and strengthened in 2013. Preserving and protecting this heritage is the central focus of the current Manly-Warringah Football Club Board. The Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles has a proud tradition, with the local junior league being established in 1932. We have played at Brookvale Oval since the Club joined the competition in 1947, played in the same colours and with the same name. Although the Club has been a privatised entity for ten years, the Manly-Warringah Football Club and its members hold an important stake in the Club, that is, the preference share which governs where the team plays, its name, logo and colours. Under the current Board’s tenure this heritage and tradition has been fiercely protected on behalf of Football Club Members. And while there are times this puts us at odds with other powerful and vested interests and has earned us unfair media criticism, we make no apologies for standing up for these important things.

Download date: 02 Oct 2021 Minors and the exclusion of liability for negligence Joachim Dietrich* Are minors bound by contractual waivers excluding liability for negligently inflicted personal injury? As a result of changes to Australian law, the use of waivers and indemnities, seeking to shield recreational services providers and others from their liabilities for negligence in contract or tort, will become increasingly widespread. This article addresses the question of whether minors can be bound by contractual waivers or indemnities. Given the contractual incapacity of minors, such waivers are (most likely) unenforceable against minors, as are (more arguably) indemnity agreements obtained against their parents. Hence, minors injured as a result of the service providers’ negligence can continue to seek legal redress for damages suffered. 1 Introduction Are minors bound by contractual waivers that exclude liability for negligently inflicted personal injury? An answer to this seemingly narrow, contractual, question is now critical in some circumstances to the determination of negligence claims for compensation for personal injury as a result of recent changes to Australian law.
