Each note summarises a decided case for education. It states what the court decided, why the decision matters in practice, and links to the judgment so readers can check it. Every statement about a decision is checked against the judgment, and paragraph numbers are given.
What the notes do not do
- They do not comment on the merits of any current or potential proceeding.
- They do not concern matters in which I have appeared, advised or mediated, or any client, party or confidential information.
- They state the law as the court decided it. An observation in a note is not a view about any particular case.
- They are not legal advice. The law may have changed since the decision, including by later amendment of the legislation considered, and readers should check the current position.
Corrections are welcome through my clerk.
