  • Situating Equitable Estoppel Within the Law of Obligations
    Situating Equitable Estoppel Within the Law of Obligations The expansion of the scope of equitable estoppel in recent years has raised im- portant questions about the role of the doctrine and its place within the frame- work of the law of obligations. Those theoretical questions have received surprisingly little attention in the Australian commentary. They have, how- ever, received rather more in England, and considerably more in the United States, where a substantive doctrine of promissory estoppel has played a prominent role in the law of obligations for some time.1 This article aims to examine the nature of the Australian doctrine as presently formulated and to situate it within the law of obligations. In doing so, the article will also draw together and evaluate the contending theories concerning the nature and role of equitable estoppel in Australia. The first part of the article will deal with the two most important historical theories concerning the role of a reliance-based doctrine of estoppel, classical contract theory and "death of contract" theory. The second part of the article will focus on the contemporary debate as to how equitable estoppel does and should operate, and the place of the doctrine within the law of obligations. The three contending theories are: promise theory (under which equitable estoppel is seen as a doctrine essentially concerned with the enforcement of promises which should be seen as, or adapted to become, part of the law of contract), conscience theory (which sees estoppel as a doctrine which oper- ates, or should operate, primarily by reference to the notion of unconscion- ability) and reliance theory (which is based on the notion that equitable estoppel is essentially concerned with protecting against harm resulting from reliance on the conduct of others).2 * LLM (Hons) (QW),Lecturer in Law, University of Canberra.

    Unconscionable Conduct and Unjust Enrichment as Grounds for Judicial Intervention JOSHUA GETZLER* [A] general principle prohibiting enrichment through another's loss ap- pears first as a convenient explanation of specific results; . yet once the idea has been formulated as a generalization, it has the peculiar faculty of inducing quite sober citizens to jump right off the dock. This temporary intoxication is seldom produced by other general ideas, such as 'equity', 'good faith', or 'justice', for these ideals themselves suggest their own rela- tivity and the complexity of the factors that must enter into judgment. The ideal of preventing enrichment through another's loss has a strong appeal to the sense of equal justice but it also has the delusive appearance of math- ematical simplicity. It suggests not merely the need for a remedy but a measure of recovery. It constantly tends to become a 'rule', to dictate sol- utions, to impose itself on the mind. John P Dawson, Unjust Enrichment (Little Brown and Co, Boston, 195 l), p 8. INTRODUCTION Since 1983 the High Court has greatly extended the scope and application of equitable doctrines in Australia.' If a unifying theme can be identified drawing together the varied instances of equitable intervention, the judges have found it in the restraint of unconscionable conduct. For example, in Legione v Hateley,* Mason and Deane JJ referred to: the fundamental principle according to which equity acts, namely that a * B.A.(Hons), LL.B.(Hons.)

  • Implied Waiver of Legal Professional Privilege: a Search for Consistency
    JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 79 SESS: 15 OUTPUT: Wed Jun 20 16:48:35 2018 /journals/journal/abr/vol45pt3/part_3 Implied waiver of legal professional privilege: A search for consistency Ahmed Terzic* The law will impute waiver of legal professional privilege where the conduct of a client is inconsistent with the maintenance of the confidentiality that the privilege is intended to protect. In applying this test, a court may be informed by considerations of fairness. This article first considers the role of fairness in the application of the inconsistency test. As with any question of waiver, the question of inconsistency is a matter of fact and degree. By drawing on principles derived from cases involving the disclosure of privileged communications to a third party, this article highlights two factors to which a court should give primacy in applying the inconsistency test, thereby instilling some certainty and predictability in an area of the law that is heavily litigated and devoid of guidance. I Introduction The law on implied waiver of legal professional privilege is no stranger to uncertainty and unpredictability — two bugbears in a rational system of law.1 For some time, the sole touchstone for determining whether the law should impute a waiver of privilege was the notion of ‘fairness’, which has been likened to the Chancellor’s foot in equity for its subjectivity and variability.2 The decision of the High Court in Mann v Carnell marked a turning point in the implied waiver inquiry, giving prominence to the familiar test of ‘inconsistency’: the law will impute waiver where the conduct of a client is inconsistent with the maintenance of the confidentiality that the privilege is intended to protect.3 However, it also brought with it two difficulties that this article seeks to confront.

  • Fallacy Or Furphy?: Fusion in a Judicature World I The
    2003 Fallacy or Furphy?: Fusion in a Judicature World 357 FALLACY OR FURPHY?: FUSION IN A JUDICATURE WORLD MICHAEL TILBURY* There is … nothing more curious in legal science, hardly anything more interesting in the history of the human mind, than to trace the processes by which the two-fold fabric of English jurisprudence gradually arose.1 I THE FUSION FALLACY If an Australian lawyer were asked about the significance of 1975 in the development of Australian law, he or she would no doubt point to the famous constitutional crisis that culminated, on Armistice Day of that year, in the use by the Governor-General of the ‘reserve powers’ to dismiss the government of the day. That event generated great legal and political controversy for many years, and ‘left many unresolved problems’.2 Yet, except as an issue in the now muted republican debate,3 it is not currently a matter of focus in constitutional law; nor is it part of the consciousness of young Australians. Another, less dramatic, event in 1975 has had a more profound and lasting effect on the fabric of Australian law: the publication of the first edition of Meagher, Gummow and Lehane’s Equity, Doctrines and Remedies (‘Meagher, Gummow and Lehane’), now in its fourth edition.4 Writing extra-curially, Justice Heydon has said that ‘no greater legal work has been written by Australians.’5 The book has, indeed, been extremely influential throughout the common law world in arresting the decline of the serious study of legal doctrine, and of the unique contribution of equity jurisprudence in particular.

  • Critique and Comment the Problem of Classification In
    CRITIQUE AND COMMENT THE PROBLEM OF CLASSIFICATION IN PRIVATE LAW DARRYN JENSEN∗ [The critics of Peter Birks’ insistence that we should be able to draw a map of the law fail to appreciate fully what this mapping is meant to achieve. Mapping the law, properly understood, does not seek to deny that the law is a dynamic phenomenon. While our understanding of the law never stands completely still, reliance upon relatively stable categories of response-generating events ought to remain a key feature of our community’s commitment to the rule of law. This is as true of equity as it is of the common law. Mapping the boundaries between these categories is a means of managing complexity and enabling the dissemination of the key features of legally relevant events. The possibility of difficult disputes being resolved according to law (as opposed to the personal authority of an adjudicator) is enhanced where the major contours of the law are, in this way, rendered communicable and intelligible to all.] CONTENTS I Introduction ............................................................................................................ 516 II The Rule of Law and Legal Categories.................................................................. 518 III The Characteristics of Legal Categories................................................................. 522 A Choice of Basis of Classification............................................................... 522 1 Artificiality...................................................................................

    Draft as of 15/10/2012 New Directions in How Legislators, Courts, and Legal Practitioners Approach Unconscionable Conduct and Good Faith By Professor Bryan Horrigan1 Summary of Paper The law and practice surrounding unconscionable business conduct and good faith in commercial contexts is a controversial topic at the best of times. This topic is especially relevant for an audience comprising solicitors, barristers, judges, and academics who respectively litigate, advocate, adjudicate, and educate in this field of commercial activity. Recent legislative reform initiatives, test case litigation, and other regulatory developments have significant practical implications for advice, transactions, and judgments in both consumer and business contexts.2 For some time, these developments and implications have occupied the attention of federal and state legislatures, courts at all levels throughout Australia, barristers’ chambers and law firm offices, and various business and industry sectors. Unfortunately, current debates in this field of law and practice often generate more heat than light. Major controversies of the present or recent past include the following: (i) differentiating unconscionable conduct’s different meanings under statutory and non-statutory law; (ii) legislatively defining ‘unconscionable conduct’ and ‘good faith’; (iii) introducing legislative principles or examples of unconscionable conduct; (iv) universalising good faith in the franchising industry and other business sectors; (v) accommodating good faith through appropriate contractual drafting techniques; (vi) unpacking the relationship between good faith in contract and good faith as a listed indicator in statutory unconscionability; and (vii) the treatment of unconscionable conduct and good faith within broader moves towards a national contract law regime. The relationship between good faith and unconscionable conduct in commercial agreements now operates on at least six different levels.

    2000 UNSW Law Journal 1 HANDS ACROSS THE WATER: THE CONTINUING CONVERGENCE OF AMERICAN AND AUSTRALIAN CONTRACT LAW RALPH JAMES MOONEY A decade ago Mr Justice Priestley favoured readers of this journal with his insightful “Guide to a Comparison of Australian and United States Contract Law”.* 1 Following a brief institutional comparison,2 His Honour reviewed recent Australian and American developments in unconscionability, good faith, and estoppel to illustrate the “numerous similarities” between the two contract regimes. A central theme of his Guide was that because English precedent is now merely persuasive rather than binding in Australia, that nation’s contract lawyers and judges likely would make “increased use” of recent American experience in the field.3 Much has happened the past decade to confirm Justice Priestley’s observations and predictions. Generally speaking, American and Australian contract law have indeed continued to converge, in part because Australian courts have used their new finality powers to rethink much traditional doctrine * BA (Harv) JD (Mich); Kaapcke Professor of Law, University of Oregon. Visiting Professor of Law, 1998, University of New South Wales. My thanks to UNSW’s Denis Harley for many useful conversations and to Sydney University’s John Carter for a thoughtful review of an earlier draft. 1 Hon LJ Priestley, “A Guide to a Comparison of Australian and United States Contract Law” (1989) 12 UNSWLJ 4. 2 Justice Priestley first described certain similarities between the two countries’ legal systems, then noted two significant differences; (1) unlike Australian states, each of the 50 American states has virtually unlimited sovereignty over its own contract law; and (2) unlike Australia’s High Court, the United States Supreme Court has jurisdiction to hear a contract dispute only in the rare instance that the case presents a substantial question of federal law.
