Equity, Restitution & Fraud provides a comprehensive coverage of restitutionary and proprietary remedies. This well written book traverses the boundaries between equity and remedies focusing on their strong interrelationship, and provides a scholarly analysis of the rationales and policy behind the restitutionary aspects pertaining to fraud. Issues that are discussed include the pre-eminent actions for breach of a fiduciary relationship, unconscionability and breaches of confidence, which allow the remedial benefits of equity to intervene and mediate the rigours of the common law. Equity, Restitution & Fraud provides in depth analysis, allowing more precise and structured arguments in court. This book will also no doubt become an essential text for students studying in the area of equity.

[Many members are madly going through their Invicta expanding fi les in order to fi nd Bulletins No’s 1 to 5]. It appears from the bulletin that exclusionary behaviour is defi ned as behaviour that demonstrates an excessive level of familiarity with the presiding judi- cial offi cer. The concern of the bulletin was the effect of such familiarity on minority groups within the legal profession and on litigants.

  • World Bar Conference
    World Bar Conference War is not the answer: The ever present threat to the rule of law Friday 5 th September 2014 1 By Julie Ward ‘In all countries and in all ages, it has often been found necessary to suspend or modify temporarily constitutional practices, and to commit extraordinary powers to persons in authority in the supreme ordeal and grave peril of national war...’ 2 The last time that Australia declared war on another nation was during WWII. We have been fortunate not to have had a recent history of having to defend our territory against attacks by foreign powers. In 21 st century Australia, the only threat of violence on a scale comparable to wartime hostilities is that posed by international terrorism. War has not, therefore, been seen as “the answer” to anything in my country in my lifetime. I propose to approach the question of threats to the rule of law that arise in the context of war by reference to the proposition, implicitly acknowledged by Higgins J in the High Court of Australia in Lloyd v Wallach, handed down at the height of WWI, that extraordinary 1 Judge of Appeal, NSW Supreme Court. I wish to acknowledge the diligent research and invaluable assistance provided by Ms Jessica Natoli, the Court of Appeal researcher, in the preparation of this paper, and to my tipstaff, Ms Kate Ottrey , and the Chief Justice’s research director, Mr Haydn Flack, for their insights on this topic. My gratitude also to Ms Kate Eastman SC for her incisive comments on a draft of this paper.

  • Imagereal Capture
    THE FOUNDATION OF THE MONASH LAW SCHOOL PETER BALMFORD* INTRODUCTION From 1853 to 1878, an Englishman named John Hughes Clayton practised as a solicitor in the City of Melbourne.' At the end of the working day, he was usually driven home by his coachman: a journey of about twelve miles to his property in a district known as "Old Dam~er".~In the course of time, the north-south road running past his property came to be called "Clayton's Road": the name was ultimately shortened to Clayton Road and from it derived the present name of the di~trict.~ Clayton had become a suburb of Melbourne long before 1958, when Mon- ash University was established by legislation of the Victorian Parliament.4 Nevertheless, the Interim Council of the new University was able to find there 250 acres of largely vacant land which it chose as the site on which to build.5 Sir John Monash (1865-1931), after whom the University was named, is celebrated as a soldier, as an engineer and as an administrator. He was a graduate of the University of Melbourne in Arts, Engineering and Law. He never practised as a barrister or solicitor, although, in the 1890s and the early years of the twentieth century, he appeared as an advocate in arbitrations on engineering disputes and frequently gave evidence as an expert witness in engineering and patent mattem6 This article gives an account of the foundation of the law school at Monash University, Clayton, in celebration of the twenty-five years of teaching which have now been completed.

  • Dyson Heydon Allegations Known to High Court Judges Michael Mchugh and Murray Gleeson 10/8/20, 332 Pm
    Dyson Heydon allegations known to High Court judges Michael McHugh and Murray Gleeson 10/8/20, 332 pm EXCLUSIVE NATIONAL HEYDON CONTROVERSY Two High Court judges 'knew of complaints against Dyson Heydon' By Kate McClymont and Jacqueline Maley June 25, 2020 — 6.00am A A A Two judges of the High Court allegedly knew of complaints of sexual harassment made against their colleague Dyson Heydon, according to an independent investigation conducted by the High Court that has sparked a national conversation about misconduct in the legal industry. According to the confidential report, obtained by the Herald and The Age, Justice Michael McHugh, who served on the court from 1989 until 2005, and the then chief justice Murray Gleeson, who headed the court for a decade until 2008, were told of their colleague's alleged behaviour. New details from the report reveal Mr McHugh's then-associate Sharona Coutts told the investigator that in 2005 she was at the court when Rachael Patterson- Collins "came rushing - half walking, half running" towards her. https://www.smh.com.au/national/two-high-court-judges-knew-of-complaints-against-dyson-heydon-20200624-p555pd.html Page 1 of 6 Dyson Heydon allegations known to High Court judges Michael McHugh and Murray Gleeson 10/8/20, 332 pm Former High Court judge Dyson Heydon, Former chief justice of the High Court Murray Gleeson and Former High Court judge Michael McHugh. Ms Collins was one of six former associates whose allegations of sexual harassment at the hands of the former judge have been upheld. The report said, "Ms Coutts stated that she could vividly recall that Ms Collins's cheeks were flushed pink, and that her eyes were wide and that she looked scared".

  • Melbourne Club Members and Daughters Dinner
    MELBOURNE CLUB MEMBERS AND DAUGHTERS DINNER Friday 2nd August 2019 Mr Richard Balderstone, Vice President, Melbourne Club Members Daughters, Grand Daughters, God Daughters, Step-Daughters, Daughters-in-Law and Nieces First, I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land upon which we are gathering and pay my respects to their Elders past and present. A few months ago, I asked a friend, a member of this Club, if he could tell me a little about the history of the Club, as I was preparing to say a few words for this evening’s dinner. I did not understand just how much he would warm to the task, until he delivered to my door, your Club History. That is, what I thought was your Club History. As I blanched under the weight of it, I realised that this was not your Club History as such – at least, not your full Club History. It dealt only with the period 1838 to 1918! Although I could barely lift it, it still had 101 years left to go, just to reach current times! So, please don’t test me on its finer details: I may not have digested every word of it. I did read enough though, to be struck by the Club’s long history, and how it runs parallel with so much of what has occurred across that time in our State. 1 That makes me observe that, similarly, the history of my role runs alongside the last 180 years of what has happened right here and across what later became known as Victoria.
