LAW ESSENTIALS: FOUNDATIONS<br />
IN AUSTRALIAN LAW<br />
Law Essentials is a textbook written especially<br />
for first year LLB students. It is intended to be<br />
a complete resource for students commencing<br />
a law degree in Australia and to be used in<br />
foundational law units offered in Australian<br />
universities.<br />
The textbook will give students insight into the<br />
operation of the Australian legal system and lawmaking<br />
in Australia as well as guidance on skills<br />
such as legal reasoning, and researching and<br />
writing, which they will need to develop in order<br />
to successfully navigate their law degree.<br />
Students will also gain an understanding of<br />
the requirements and process for admission<br />
to practice as an Australian lawyer.<br />
An all-encompassing textbook, Law Essentials<br />
gathers content from other major <strong>Thomson</strong><br />
<strong>Reuters</strong>’ texts (Parkinson, Tradition and Change<br />
in Australian Law; Carvan, Understanding<br />
the Australian Legal System; Ellis, Principles<br />
and Practice of Australian Law ; Farrar, Legal<br />
Reasoning; Hutchinson, Researching and Writing<br />
in Law; Milne & Tucker, A Practical Guide to<br />
Legal Research; Macken, Law Student Survival<br />
Guide) and features the ‘voice of the profession’<br />
throughout, making the link between law studies<br />
and the world of legal practice. For teaching<br />
staff, Law Essentials is structured in line with<br />
the Threshold Learning Outcomes (TLOs),<br />
thereby making it easy for teaching staff to<br />
facilitate engagement with the TLOs amongst<br />
their first year students.<br />

What are the aims of the book<br />
The aim of Law Essentials: Foundations in<br />
Australian Law is to create a practical, useful and<br />
engaging textbook for first year law students in<br />
Australia. The idea behind the book is to draw<br />
together the works of a variety of key Australian<br />
legal authors including Wolski, Parkinson,<br />
Ellis and Carvan to provide students with just<br />
the right amount of knowledge and skills to<br />
ignite their excitement in studying law, and<br />
to help establish the foundations of their law<br />
degrees. Law Essentials is designed to be an<br />
easy-to-navigate book, with reader-friendly<br />
features such as a styled format, pictures,<br />
diagrams and summary points.<br />
What are the main benefits you would like<br />
students to take away from the book<br />
Law Essentials is a book that equips students<br />
with both the knowledge and skills needed to<br />
launch them into their law degrees, whether<br />
as a first year university student, a graduate of<br />
another degree or a student returning to study.<br />
The book gives students essential insight into the<br />
operation of the Australian legal system and law<br />
making in Australia. This book provides detailed<br />
guidance for developing fundamental skills such<br />
as legal reasoning and research, oral and written<br />
communication as well as an understanding of<br />
the requirements and process for admission to<br />
practice as an Australian lawyer.<br />
What are the main benefits you would like<br />
lecturers to take away from the book<br />
For lecturers, this is a text that clearly sets out,<br />
in an engaging and reader-friendly way, the<br />
fundamental knowledge students need for their<br />
future law studies, as well as the essential skills<br />
they need for university and lifelong learning<br />
success. Our book assists lecturers to engage<br />
students with their learning by setting out a<br />
well-designed and appealing first year course.<br />
We make use of lots of diagrams, images and<br />
summary points so the book is interesting to<br />
students and easier to navigate than the<br />
average law text.<br />
Tell us about the Teachers Supplement that<br />
comes with the book.<br />
The Teachers’ Supplement is a guide to assist<br />
first year law lecturers, providing them with a<br />
summary of the first year law curriculum, and<br />
some sample learning outcomes for first year law.<br />
It has a guide to assessing learning outcomes<br />
in first year law, and some practical teaching<br />
suggestions for first year law teachers.<br />
The Supplement was also written to provide a<br />
‘big picture’ national snapshot of legal education<br />
in Australia, including an explanation of national<br />
and discipline-specific learning standards upon<br />
which Law Essentials is based. A list of references<br />
assists teachers to follow up further with literature<br />
on first year legal education in Australia.<br />
What are the challenges particular to first<br />
year teachers<br />
First year teachers are in a unique position. The<br />
majority of first years are fresh out of secondary<br />
school and their first law subject is also therefore<br />
their first ever university subject. There’s a lot to<br />
learn about University life. Often they feel insecure<br />
and anonymous amongst the large groups of<br />
students who share their lectures and therefore<br />
it is crucial that their teachers are able to engage<br />
them and put them at ease with each other and<br />
their course materials. At first year skills are as<br />
important as knowledge. For example, legal<br />
reasoning is a completely new concept for most<br />
students and it is essential for them to understand<br />
that success in law is more than just learning the<br />
law, but rather greatly connected to their ability<br />
to be able to apply the law to a new set of facts.<br />

AUSTRALIAN CIVIL PROCEDURE<br />
Australian Civil Procedure is now in its ninth<br />
edition and we recently spoke to author<br />
Dr Bernard Cairns to find out more about the<br />
latest developments covered in the book.<br />
Dr Bernard Cairns is widely respected for his<br />
mastery of the laws relating to procedure, and<br />
is a leading, nationally recognised academic.<br />
Practising law for some years, before becoming<br />
a legal academic with special publishing and<br />
research interests in civil litigation and the civil<br />
justice system, he is the author of the recognised<br />
standard reference book on the Australian civil<br />
justice system, Australian Civil Procedure, now<br />
in its ninth edition. He has contributed articles<br />
to law journals in his area of interest and is the<br />
joint editor of the practitioner’s reference service<br />
Queensland Civil Practice.<br />
Reader in Law at the TC Beirne School of Law,<br />
University of Queensland, Associate Professor<br />
Cairns was the principal consultant to the<br />
Queensland Justice Department project that<br />
resulted in the introduction of a uniform set<br />
of rules for all Queensland civil courts. He has<br />
taught civil procedure at undergraduate and<br />
postgraduate level and is currently an Honorary<br />
Fellow at the University of Tasmania.<br />
Tell us a little about the development of<br />
this new 9th edition, what were some of the<br />
challenges you faced<br />
The challenge is twofold.<br />
First, the book covers the civil practice of all<br />
Australian Supreme Courts and the Federal Court:<br />
nine jurisdictions are involved. The fundamentals<br />
of all jurisdictions are almost the same. Generally,<br />
I discuss the civil justice system as a coherent<br />
whole so that it is relevant to all jurisdictions.<br />
General concepts and principles are emphasised<br />
rather than mechanical details and procedures.<br />
Coverage is national rather than jurisdictionspecific.<br />
There are nevertheless significant<br />
differences among the various jurisdictions. These<br />
differences have to be covered, as well as the<br />
common ground, without losing overall coherence.<br />
Where it is necessary some topics are discussed in<br />
relation to a specific State or group of States. For<br />
example, litigation management schemes differ so<br />
substantially among the different courts a separate<br />
section<br />
has to be devoted to each court. Some courts<br />
have a common form or originating process so<br />
that they can be treated as a group. Other courts<br />
are discussed separately. Pleading rules are mostly<br />
uniform, although Queensland differs in some<br />
important respects. The common rules of pleading<br />
can be treated as a whole in the same section.<br />
In summary, I aim to keep overall coherence<br />
in the book without overlooking significant<br />
differences among the different courts.<br />
Secondly, practitioners and students are the<br />
intended audience. It is essential to cover the<br />
field in enough detail to satisfy practitioners<br />
without over-burdening students with excessive<br />
detail. Identifying and emphasising fundamental<br />
principles is useful for students and for<br />
practitioners. Practitioners’ need for treatment<br />
of specific courts is met where differences are<br />
substantial and merit separate discussion. It is<br />
however necessary to have regard to the bulk of<br />
the book.<br />
What have been some of the more significant<br />
developments since the eight edition,<br />
published now two years ago<br />
Some of the more significant developments are:<br />
• the High Court’s decision to include cost and<br />
efficiency alongside justice as fundamental<br />
objectives of the civil justice system. This has<br />
implications for parties and lawyers in the<br />
way civil litigation is conducted. It recognises<br />
a change of emphasis in that the court must<br />
pay attention to the civil litigation system as a<br />
public resource which must be administered<br />
efficiently from the point of view not only of the<br />
parties but the public generally as taxpayers;<br />
• amending pleadings and court processes in<br />
light of the need for efficiency in the conduct<br />
of litigation;<br />
• enhance powers for the court to terminate<br />
baseless litigation before substantial costs<br />
are incurred;<br />
• Constitutional limitations on the jurisdiction<br />
that States can impose on State courts are that<br />
they are also courts within the meaning of Ch III<br />
of the Constitution.<br />
14 www.thomsonreuters.com.au/lawbooks
What will be the greatest challenge for<br />
practitioners resulting from the implementation<br />
of the new Federal Court Rules<br />
Section 37M of the Federal Court of Australia<br />
Act 1976 (Cth) stipulates that Federal Court<br />
proceedings must be conducted to facilitate the<br />
overarching objective of justice and efficiency.<br />
Proceedings must be determined according to<br />
law, as quickly, inexpensively and efficiently as<br />
possible. The court exercises its powers in a way<br />
that advances the overarching objective. Lawyers<br />
must assist their clients in this respect. Failure in<br />
this duty may result in an order for costs against<br />
the lawyer.<br />
Lawyers’ responsibilities start even before taking<br />
a proceeding in the Federal Court. They must<br />
assist their clients in preparing a genuine presteps<br />
statement describing the attempts to settle<br />
the dispute before taking court action. Failing to<br />
give a proper genuine pre-steps statement may<br />
influence the court’s decision on costs.<br />
A notice of appearance is no longer part of<br />
Federal Court proceedings. However, the<br />
respondent is required by the rules to file a notice<br />
of address for service. A party falls into default<br />
by failing to do an act required by the rules or an<br />
order of the court, attend a hearing or prosecute<br />
or defend a proceeding with due diligence. The<br />
court may give a default judgment against a<br />
defaulting party.<br />
The Federal Court Rules 2011 basically retain<br />
the previous pleading rules. The 2011 rules do,<br />
however, emphasise that pleadings must give<br />
proper notice of the case to be put at the trial,<br />
prevent surprise at the trial and enable the<br />
opposite party to collect evidence. Particulars in<br />
the pleadings must be adequate for this purpose.<br />
Discovery of documents can be carried on only<br />
with a court order. The court may order standard<br />
or non-standard discovery, depending on the<br />
needs of the case and the application of the<br />
overarching objective.<br />
As with the previous rules, orders for costs<br />
are within the court’s discretion. But where a<br />
party has the benefit of an order for costs the<br />
amount recoverable from another party is the<br />
amount “fairly and reasonably incurred” in<br />
conducting the litigation, as distinct from the<br />
costs reasonably and properly incurred according<br />
to the previous rules. This may result in a greater<br />
amount being recovered under an order for<br />
costs. The amount of costs is determined by<br />
assessment or taxation by a taxing officer of the<br />
court. Initially, the taxing officer estimates the<br />
costs on receipt of a bill of costs without hearing<br />
the parties. If there is an objection the taxing<br />
officer convenes a confidential conference. A<br />
more formal taxation, on notice to the parties,<br />
proceeds only if the parties cannot agree at the<br />
confidential conference or if a party requests a<br />
full taxation.<br />
With the revision of the inter-relationship of<br />
federal and State jurisdiction, what are some<br />
of the consequences for the jurisdiction of<br />
State courts<br />
State legislation cannot confer on a State court<br />
a function or jurisdiction that is incompatible<br />
with a judicial function as comprehended in the<br />
Commonwealth Constitution. This is because<br />
the Constitution contemplates that federal<br />
jurisdiction may, by Commonwealth legislation,<br />
be conferred on a State court. State courts<br />
must satisfy the requirements of a court<br />
according to the Constitution. For example,<br />
State legislation that required the Supreme<br />
Court of New South Wales to make an ex<br />
parte order for property restraint because of<br />
suspected criminal activity was declared invalid<br />
in International Finance Trust Company Ltd v New<br />
South Wales Crime Commission (2009) 84 ALJR<br />
31. This jurisdiction was incompatible with the<br />
judicial function of the Supreme Court as a court<br />
on which federal jurisdiction may be conferred<br />
under the Constitution.<br />

meet our AUTHORS<br />
the AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW<br />
Coming to grips with the ACL is essential given<br />
its specific protections and Stephen Corones’<br />
recent book, The Australian Consumer Law,<br />
assists practitioners, academics and students<br />
to understand the Australian Consumer Law<br />
regime and its impact.<br />
More information about<br />
The Australian Consumer Law<br />
can be found on page 41<br />
What is the Australian Consumer Law and<br />
why is it significant<br />
The Australian Consumer Law (ACL) commenced<br />
on 1 January 2011. It unifies and rationalises<br />
an untidy web of 17 different Commonwealth,<br />
State and Territory consumer protection laws.<br />
As a result there is now one uniform Australian<br />
Consumer Law that applies in all jurisdictions<br />
throughout Australia and across all sectors of<br />
the economy, thereby significantly reducing<br />
business compliance costs.<br />
What was your aim in writing The Australian<br />
Consumer Law<br />
The changes brought about by the ACL have<br />
created the need for a new book to explain<br />
the obligations of businesses and the rights<br />
of consumers under the new law. It seeks<br />
to explain the scope and importance of the<br />
statutory causes of action created by the ACL.<br />
Throughout the work an attempt is made to<br />
explain how the various protections inter-relate,<br />
the scope for overlap, and why each provision is<br />
necessary to provide complete protection.<br />
Who is likely to benefit from reading this work<br />
The aim of the work is to provide legal<br />
practitioners, business people and students<br />
with an analysis of all aspects of the ACL.<br />
Stephen<br />
Corones<br />
Stephen Corones was appointed a Professor<br />
within the Faculty of Law at Queensland<br />
University of Technology in 1994.<br />
In 2007, he was engaged by the Productivity<br />
Commission to prepare a Comparative Study<br />
of State and Commonwealth Consumer<br />
Protection legislation and to advise the<br />
Productivity Commission generally in relation<br />
to its terms of reference for the reform of<br />
Australia’s consumer protection laws.<br />
In 2008, he was appointed by the Minister for<br />
Competition Policy and Consumer Affairs to<br />
the Commonwealth Consumer Affairs Advisory<br />
Council (CCAAC) for a three year term. The<br />
appointment was renewed in July 2011 for a<br />
further three year term.<br />
In 2009, Stephen led the CCAAC inquiry<br />
into the adequacy of existing laws on implied<br />
conditions and warranties, the existence of<br />
extended warranties and their interaction<br />
laws on implied conditions and warranties<br />
in Australia.<br />

Administrative Law<br />
CONSTITUTIONAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE<br />
LAW IN NEW ZEALAND, 3RD EDITION<br />
Philip Joseph<br />
Cited favourably by many New Zealand Courts<br />
(including the Privy Council in Gairy v A-G of<br />
Grenada), this treatise brings together a clear<br />
statement of New Zealand’s constitutional<br />
and administrative law.<br />
New Zealand has the closest adaptation of<br />
the Westminster system of Government in<br />
the Commonwealth. How this has occurred is<br />
examined closely in a study of the origin and<br />
development of New Zealand’s constitution<br />
and the institutions which govern the country.<br />
The third edition covers the entire range of<br />
subjects which define modern public law. It<br />
continues the high scholarly standards, ease of<br />
reference and readability of the previous editions.<br />
The first edition of Constitutional and<br />
Administrative Law in New Zealand was<br />
awarded the JF Northey Prize for Best New<br />
Zealand Law Book in 1995. A second edition<br />
was published in 2001, and the current edition<br />
was published in October 2007.<br />

Deborah Cao<br />
Written by Deborah Cao (Griffith University), with<br />
chapters by Steven White (Griffith University) and<br />
Katrina Sharman (Voiceless), and a foreword by<br />
the Hon Michael Kirby AC CMG, Animal Law in<br />
Australia and New Zealand aims to contribute<br />
to establishing and furthering animal law as<br />
an independent branch of legal studies.<br />
Part I focuses on philosophical, scientific and<br />
historical aspects of animals in relation to law,<br />
providing the background against which animal<br />
law can be examined as a discipline and a branch<br />
of law. It considers the legal status of animals<br />
and discusses various ways for the improvement<br />
and strengthening of animal protection within<br />
the existing legal framework.<br />
Part II focuses on animal law in practice, covering<br />
legal frameworks for animal welfare law and an<br />
overview of the key provisions of the relevant<br />
laws. Later chapters detail the regulation of the<br />
treatment of companion animals, farm animals,<br />
wild animals and animals used in research.<br />
Ideal for university law students undertaking<br />
animal law, animal welfare law or animal rights<br />
courses; academics and lawyers interested in<br />
animal welfare and the environment in general;<br />
animal rights advocates; and general readers<br />
with an interest in animal welfare.<br />

This casebook is an authoritative introduction to<br />
international finance, transactions, policy, and<br />

the implementation of international accounting<br />
standards. While the approach of this book is<br />

original and complements existing texts written<br />
for finance or economics courses. The book deals<br />
extensively with the financial crisis, including<br />
regulatory and legislative reforms that have<br />
followed in its wake.<br />

Christine Miles and Warwick Dowler<br />
Business law, being a reflection of a dynamic and<br />
progressive economy, always requires many new<br />
inclusions in each edition of A Guide to Business<br />
Law. This edition, probably more than any<br />
previous one, has seen major changes in many<br />
areas of business law and has been significantly<br />
revised and rewritten as a result. The content has<br />
also been broadened to have a more national<br />
focus, with references to all jurisdictions added<br />
for applicable laws in key areas.<br />
Case law and legislation have been updated<br />
throughout, including:<br />
• the new national Australian Consumer Law;<br />
• recent changes to Australian Bankruptcy<br />
Legislation, including the increases in<br />
prescribed amounts for income and assets;<br />
• changes to securities over personal property<br />
introduced by the Personal Property Securities<br />
Act 2009 (Cth);<br />
• a concise summary of the new industrial<br />
relations changes; and<br />

This casebook concentrates on the legal issues<br />
that arise from the growing practice area of<br />
emerging markets. It prepares the student<br />
for problems encountered when working in<br />
countries that provide business opportunities but<br />
have weak legal institutions and murky business<br />
cultures, particularly corruption, human rights<br />
abuses, regulatory expropriation, uncertain<br />
property rights and government authorisations,<br />
and poor dispute resolution and law enforcement<br />
mechanisms. It combines introductory text with<br />
a series of problems derived from practice. Cases<br />
are used principally as a source of problems<br />
rather than as a source of law and there is<br />
substantial analysis of legislative and regulatory<br />
materials. A statutory appendix is available to<br />

THE AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW<br />
NEW<br />
CONSTITUTIONAL LAW<br />
GLOBAL ISSUES IN CONSTITUTIONAL LAW<br />
Stephen Corones<br />
Reform of Australia’s inconsistent<br />
Commonwealth, State and Territory consumer<br />
laws is now a reality. The 1 January 2011<br />
commencement of the Australian Consumer<br />
Law (ACL), within the Competition and Consumer<br />
Act 2010, is the culmination of a long process<br />
of consultation. Unifying and rationalising<br />
the plethora of laws, this new Act sees the<br />
disappearance of the Trade Practices Act and<br />
the amendment of a raft of State and Territory<br />
legislation; the new national regime informed<br />
by them operates in their stead.<br />
Stephen Corones’ timely new work assists<br />
practitioners, academics and students<br />
understand the Australian Consumer Law<br />
regime and its impact. The book:<br />
• Summarises the history and constitutional<br />
basis of the ACL<br />
• Explains how the ACL will be implemented,<br />
amended and enforced<br />
• Explores how the various general and specific<br />
protections interrelate, and the scope of their<br />
overlap, and<br />
• Considers the content of the ACL, and the<br />
principal changes from the provisions of the<br />
Trade Practices Act.<br />

UNFAIR CONTRACT TERMS LAW<br />
IN AUSTRALIA<br />
NEW<br />
David Hughes, Kim Lewison<br />
The Interpretation of Contracts in Australia<br />
provides essential guidance on the construction<br />
and interpretation of contracts, including in<br />
difficult matters of disputed interpretation,<br />
and is the adaptation of the widely acclaimed<br />
English title The Interpretation of Contracts by<br />
Sir Kim Lewison.<br />
Barrister David Hughes and Sir Kim Lewison<br />
have thoroughly revised the first nine chapters<br />
of the English text to reflect Australian law,<br />
while retaining the structure and principles<br />
of interpretation.<br />
These principles of construction and<br />
interpretation are discussed in chapters which<br />
proceed through the key rules governing each<br />
of them. Extracts and summaries of decisions<br />
are provided to illustrate the application of<br />
those rules. The text’s insights will inform<br />
the process of drafting or revising a contract<br />
by identifying key principles and discussing<br />
them comprehensively, yet concisely, with<br />
reference to case law.<br />
By enabling lawyers to construct arguments<br />
rooted in case law, this work will help lawyers<br />
to challenge contracts and explain their<br />
inadequacies.<br />

This new work provides timely and detailed<br />
analysis of the new ‘Unfair Contract Terms Law’<br />
(UCTL) which took effect in each state and<br />
territory from 1 January 2011.<br />
The UCTL represents a radical change in<br />
consumer protection and contract law.<br />
Dr Jeannie Paterson explains the operation<br />
of the UCTL and considers the implications<br />
for standard ‘boilerplate’ terms in consumer<br />
contracts. The work also examines the<br />
background to the reforms and precedents<br />
drawn from similar laws in the UK and, until<br />
recently, in Victoria.<br />
This work will be highly useful for litigation<br />
purposes and compliance work, appealing<br />
appeal to competition, consumer and<br />
commercial practitioners and regulators<br />
involved in drafting, reviewing and enforcing<br />
standard form consumer contracts.<br />
Traders dealing with consumers will find this<br />
work an invaluable when ensuring that the<br />
terms of their contracts are effective in the<br />
light of the legislation.<br />
Unfair Contract Terms Law in Australia is an<br />
essential tool for understanding the UCTL<br />
and for achieving compliance with it.<br />

This practical guide to parental leave covers<br />
entitlements and procedures under the Fair Work<br />
Act 2009 and Paid Parental Leave Act 2010.<br />

as employees maintaining contact with the<br />
workplace while on leave and rights to return<br />
to work. This is in addition to the ‘paymaster’<br />
function which became the responsibility of<br />
employers as of 1 July 2011.<br />

AUSTRALIAN ENVIRONMENTAL LAW,<br />

DE Fisher<br />
Since 2003 climate change and overuse of water<br />
resources have emerged as major challenges<br />
for the environmental legal system. The second<br />

these issues. It remains a principles-based text<br />

Australia’s environmental system from a doctrinal<br />
and instrumental perspective.<br />
Relevant legislation and case law have been<br />
updated throughout and the book has been<br />
restructured to reflect ever-increasing levels<br />
of social, political and academic interest in<br />
sustainable development and environmental<br />
planning.<br />
The chapters on ecologically sustainable<br />
development and the instruments of<br />
environmental law have been rewritten,<br />
restructured and relocated, and a new chapter on<br />
the emerging challenges for environmental law<br />
has been added, including discussion of climate<br />

superannuation fund trustees)<br />
• Aid/Watch Inc v Commissioner of Taxation<br />

• Australian Broadcasting Corporation v O’Neill<br />

new extracts from courts in the United Kingdom<br />
and Canada, including the following: Galambos<br />
v Perez (fiduciary principle); Breakspear v Ackland<br />

LAW OF EVIDENCE, 4TH EDITION<br />
Ian Dennis<br />
This book analyses the law of evidence, while<br />
placing the subject within its theoretical context.<br />
Information is presented in a logical structure<br />
following on from the introduction of the basic<br />
concepts through to the exclusionary rules<br />
of the law of evidence. It takes an integrated<br />
approach to evidence which includes essential<br />
doctrinal analysis, and takes account of evidence<br />
theory, psychological research on information<br />
processing and retrieval, socio-legal work on<br />
police investigations, and jury research projects.<br />

PROOF: HOW TO ANALYSE EVIDENCE IN<br />
PREPARATION FOR TRIAL, 2ND EDITION<br />
Andrew Palmer<br />
Proof provides clear, simple and easy-to-follow<br />
methods for organising and analysing evidence<br />
in order to construct the strongest possible case<br />
for presentation at trial. Built on solid theoretical<br />
foundations, but with a very practical orientation,<br />
Proof guides your approach to the evidence from<br />
the moment you become involved in a matter to<br />
the delivery of the closing address.<br />
Part A deals with some preliminary methods of<br />
organisation and analysis, including a number<br />
of methods for marshalling evidence in order<br />
to facilitate further investigation and evidence<br />
gathering, and to facilitate the development of<br />
a theory of the case.<br />
Part B covers the selection of a theory of the<br />
case and methods for proving it. Between them<br />
the chapters cover a variety of techniques and<br />
methods, ranging from the preparation of a<br />
“case map”, to the development of detailed<br />
arguments about evidence, including arguments<br />
about the credibility of sources, the drawing of<br />
inferences, and the standard of proof. The overall<br />
focus, however, is on identifying the arguments<br />
to be used in the closing address, and the<br />
evidence which will need to be adduced if<br />
those arguments are to be made.<br />
Part C deals with the final preparations for<br />
trial. The first chapter sets out an approach to<br />
questions of admissibility which is fundamentally<br />
different from the approach taken in most<br />
evidence texts. The final chapter pulls together<br />
all the threads of the analysis into a form which<br />
can be used to run the trial.<br />

FAMILY LAW PRINCIPLES<br />
Harland, Cooper, Rathus and Alexander<br />
The aim of this book is to provide a<br />
comprehensive and accessible text covering<br />
the major aspects of family law. Family law is<br />
a dynamic part of the legal landscape and is<br />
ever evolving. It also intersects with other<br />
areas of law and involves many disciplines.<br />
An emerging theme in family law is that a<br />
thorough appreciation of social science research<br />
is essential. This book stands apart from<br />
others because it has a comprehensive chapter<br />
on social science which not only summarises<br />
the latest research but also analyses the case<br />
law to demonstrate how this research is used<br />
in family law decision-making. It also has a<br />
chapter touching on international family law,<br />
an area of increasing importance.<br />
The author team brings a unique blend of<br />
practice experience and academic expertise,<br />
to ensure this text will have a broad appeal<br />
to all readers. Students, academics, new<br />
practitioners, and also more experienced<br />
practitioners looking for a refresher, will all<br />
find Family Law Principles a useful resource.<br />

INTERNATIONAL FAMILY LAW – A<br />
GUIDE FOR AUSTRALIAN LAWYERS<br />
Alexandra Harland and David Hodson<br />
Based on David Hodson’s successful UK book,<br />
A Practical Guide to International Family Law<br />
(Jordans, 2008), this work provides a much<br />
needed resource for family law practitioners<br />
in Australia.<br />
As families have become increasingly more<br />
mobile in recent years, family law cases with<br />
international elements are becoming more<br />
common. Currently there are very few resources<br />
available to Australian practitioners.<br />
International issues arise in a variety of contexts,<br />
including: parenting cases involving relocation<br />
issues; child abduction and overseas travel;<br />
property issues when there are properties<br />
in multiple jurisdictions; enforcement and<br />
recognition of orders in different jurisdictions;<br />
when foreign marriages will and will not be<br />
recognised; forum disputes; service; and<br />
immigration issues.<br />
Australia and New Zealand have a close<br />
relationship and special arrangements<br />
operate between these countries and this<br />
work includes a chapter looking at these<br />
arrangements. Many international cases<br />
concern the United Kingdom and continental<br />
Europe which has many cross-border and very<br />
distinctive laws affecting international families.<br />
This book covers European cross-border family<br />
law as it affects Australian cases.<br />

PROPERTY<br />
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY:<br />
COMMENTARY AND MATERIALS,<br />
5TH EDITION<br />
Price, Bodkin, Arnold and Adjei<br />
Intellectual property is one of the most<br />
popular courses of study at undergraduate and<br />
postgraduate level and is a major instrument<br />
of world trade and economic growth. This area<br />
of law and regulation has gained in importance<br />
with the development of the “knowledge<br />
economy”, as a large proportion of the world’s<br />
wealth is in the form of intellectual capital<br />
rather than physical or material sources.<br />
This latest edition of Intellectual Property:<br />
Commentary and Materials deals with all the<br />
essential aspects of the nature of the property<br />
rights involved in copyright, patents, designs,<br />
trade marks, protection for confidential<br />
information and passing off.<br />
This new edition includes new chapters on:<br />
• The International Context of Intellectual<br />

LEGAL THEORIES: CONTEXTS<br />
AND PRACTICES<br />
Marett Leiboff and Mark Thomas<br />
Legal Theories: Contexts and Practices builds<br />
on the authors’ earlier work, Legal Theories: In<br />
Principle. It explores how practices adopted by<br />
the courts involve the adoption of theoretical<br />
and jurisprudential positions and draws on the<br />
historical, legal and social conditions in which<br />
various legal theories were created, and examines<br />
how they influenced the practices of law.<br />
The authors write about legal theory as<br />
accessibly as possible, by providing readers<br />
with examples of the uses of legal theory in<br />
practice, an explanation of its methods, and<br />
an overview of aspects of the content of legal<br />
theory. Diagrams, illustrations, tables, charts<br />
and photographs are used to demonstrate<br />
aspects of legal theories. A fold out historical<br />
and contextual timeline tracks the contexts<br />
and practices of the theories across generations,<br />
allowing students to see the developments in<br />
legal theory over time.<br />
Legal Theories: Contexts and Practices is highly<br />
suitable for anyone learning legal theory,<br />
legal philosophy, and jurisprudence – it is<br />
invaluable reading for students, scholars and<br />
practitioners alike.<br />

CRAIES ON LEGISLATION, 9TH EDITION<br />
PLUS SUPPLEMENT<br />
Daniel Greenberg<br />
A standard work on the effect and interpretation<br />
of legislation in the UK, it provides detailed<br />
guidance on assessing legislative intention and<br />
is a key reference tool for lawyers who administer,<br />
advise, argue or adjudicate on Acts of Parliament<br />
and statutory instruments.<br />
Of direct practical use for barristers, solicitors<br />
and the judiciary, it steers them clearly through a<br />
range of critical issues, such as the interpretation<br />
of words, what may and may not be implied if<br />
the meaning is unclear, and what sources of<br />
information outside a statute may be used to<br />
throw light on its meaning. This edition and<br />
supplement considers all recent developments, in<br />
particular a number of cases concerning s 3 of the<br />
Human rights Act 1998 and developments around<br />
the House of Lords decision in Pepper v Hart.<br />

DESIGN AND CONDUCT OF RESEARCH<br />
IN TAX, LAW AND ACCOUNTING<br />
Margaret McKerchar<br />
A comprehensive guide to the design and conduct<br />
of robust social research in a range of business<br />
contexts including tax, law and accounting.<br />
This book addresses not only the theoretical<br />
underpinnings of research, and how they shape<br />
methodological choices and design, but also the<br />
practicalities of writing, conducting, analysing<br />
and reporting.<br />
The book’s focus is on assisting researchers<br />
to make sound choices in order to effectively<br />
address their research objective, as poorly<br />
designed research can lead to insupportable<br />
arguments and misinformed claims. With a style<br />
that stimulates critical thinking and reflection<br />
this book facilitates the identification of skills that<br />
are needed, and how best to acquire and employ<br />
them. It is particularly useful where researchers<br />
need to bridge new disciplines of knowledge.<br />
Design and Conduct of Research in Tax, Law<br />
and Accounting is an essential acquisition<br />
for all postgraduate, academic and<br />
professional researchers.<br />

LEGAL REASONING<br />
John Farrar<br />
This book is a new work based partly on the<br />
author’s earlier successful United Kingdom book,<br />
An Introduction to Legal Method (co-authored<br />
with Tony Dugdale) and concentrates on legal<br />
reasoning and legal method for first year law<br />
students and business students.<br />
The book adopts a broad social view of the<br />
legal system and examines the legal process<br />
in a sometimes critical fashion. Referring to<br />
both Australian and New Zealand law and the<br />
contrasts between them, this book focuses on<br />
how lawyers think and reason. It also considers<br />
how legal reasoning claims to be distinctive,<br />
while following practical reasoning techniques<br />
with policy and value elements.<br />
Written in plain English, the book’s subject<br />
matter includes indigenous people’s customs<br />
and rights, methods of social control through<br />
law, fallacies in reasoning, international<br />
influences and human rights. It also discusses<br />
the impact of the information revolution on<br />
law and lawyers and whether this affects the<br />
lawyer’s role and status.<br />

MAKING YOUR CASE: THE ART OF<br />
PURSUADING JUDGES<br />
Antonin Scalia and Bryan Garner<br />
In their professional lives, courtroom lawyers<br />
must do these two things well: speak<br />
persuasively and write persuasively. In this<br />
noteworthy book, two noted legal writers<br />
systematically present every important idea<br />
about judicial persuasion in a fresh, entertaining<br />
way. The book covers the essentials of sound<br />
legal reasoning, including how to develop the<br />
syllogism that underlies any argument. From<br />
there the authors explain the art of brief writing,<br />
especially what to include and what to omit, so<br />
that you can induce the judge to focus closely on<br />
your arguments. Finally, they show what it takes<br />
to succeed in oral argument.<br />

secondary. Part Two covers letters, memos, trial<br />
and appellate briefs, and judicial opinions, which<br />
require clarity, perseverance, and creativity. Part<br />
Three covers contracts, legislation, and wills,<br />
where conceptualisation is inextricable from<br />

REGULATION, LITIGATION<br />
AND ENFORCEMENT<br />
Michael Legg<br />
NEW<br />
Regulation, Litigation, Enforcement examines the<br />
procedural aspects of litigation in the regulatory<br />
context from the perspective of theory, policy and<br />
practice. It considers litigation issues common<br />
to all regulatory schemes, such as investigation<br />
and information gathering powers, and criminal<br />
law aspects of regulatory litigation. The different<br />
regulatory regimes are considered together so<br />
that they can be compared and contrasted.<br />
Regulation, Litigation, Enforcement reviews the<br />
need for regulation, forms of regulation and<br />
techniques of regulation. Pre-litigation steps<br />
are covered; coercive investigatory powers<br />
examined; and the limitations imposed by<br />
privilege discussed.<br />
Legal practitioners engaged in regulatory<br />
enforcement/litigation will find this work<br />
extremely useful. It will assist practitioners<br />
who are new to the area to understand the<br />
basics such as investigatory powers and<br />
pleadings, but it is also highly useful for<br />
experienced practitioners who have to address<br />
novel issues such as criminalisation and the<br />
rise of class actions. In-house lawyers, company<br />
secretaries and compliance professionals that<br />
have a regulatory interface, as well employees<br />
of regulators such as ASIC and ACCC, and<br />
students of litigation and/or regulation, will<br />
all benefit from this unique work.<br />

PRINCIPLES OF CIVIL LITIGATION<br />
David Bamford<br />
The last 25 years have witnessed major<br />
changes in civil procedure in Australia. Some<br />
changes, such as case management, have been<br />
revolutionary, resulting in a fundamental shift in<br />
the way in which the civil justice system works.<br />
Other changes have focused on improving the<br />
efficacy of the various procedural tools available<br />
to parties in the litigation process.<br />
Principles of Civil Litigation analyses civil<br />
procedure within the broader context of these<br />
changes, along with possible directions for future<br />
reforms. It does not merely explain the rules of<br />
court – it employs original research to provide a<br />
systematic overview of the core procedural steps<br />
in the civil justice system and explains how these<br />
processes function in practice and their impact<br />
upon justice. It considers litigation within a<br />
dispute-resolving context and recognises that the<br />
majority of cases do not progress to judgment.<br />
Principles of Civil Litigation aims to promote<br />
debate about the direction of procedural reform<br />
and the wider implications of civil procedure,<br />
along with an understanding of how civil<br />
litigation works today.<br />

of the shortcomings of the Review, identifies real<br />
strengths, compares the process of tax reform<br />
in Australia with developments in other<br />
countries, and explores the likely implications<br />
of the proposals set out in the Review for the<br />
equity, efficiency and simplicity of the Australian<br />
tax system.<br />

GST IN AUSTRALIA: LOOKING<br />
FORWARD FROM THE FIRST DECADE<br />
Christine Peacock<br />
It is now 10 years since Australia’s Goods and<br />
Services Tax system was introduced. It is therefore<br />
timely to review the system as a whole and to<br />
consider what reforms still need to take place.<br />
GST in Australia: Looking Forward from the First<br />
Decade comprises contributions from a team of<br />
experts from many different disciplines. They<br />
include representatives from the Australian<br />
Government Solicitor’s office; the Australian<br />
Taxation Office; the New Zealand Inland<br />
Revenue Department; partners from major<br />
professional services firms; and academic<br />
experts from Australia, New Zealand, China<br />
and the Netherlands. These authors analyse<br />
the Australian experience with the GST as well<br />
as the impact that the tax has had elsewhere.<br />
Important issues that are addressed include:<br />
• What lessons have been learned from the<br />
introduction of GST<br />
• What are some of the issues that have<br />
emerged in practice as a result of the GST<br />
• What reforms still need to take place<br />

FLEMING’S THE LAW OF TORTS,<br />
10TH EDITION<br />
Carolyn Sappideen and Prue Vines<br />
new<br />
EDition<br />
The Law of Torts by Professor John Fleming<br />
was last published in 1998. It is distinguished<br />
throughout the world of tort scholarship as a<br />
work of enormous significance.<br />
Major new developments include: the impact<br />
of tort reform processes; the impact of human<br />
rights instruments on tort law; the contraction<br />
of liability, with the impact of civil liability<br />
legislation with its emphasis on personal<br />
autonomy; the new consumer law legislation;<br />
and the new uniform defamation code.<br />
The key strength of Fleming is its examination,<br />
and elucidation, of legal principle. This text is<br />
known for its distillation of the essence of tort<br />
legal principles and its critical evaluation of<br />
them. Professor Fleming had an unflinching<br />
belief that no legal system is superior to any<br />
other. He combed the corners of the common<br />
law and civil law world in the search for answers.<br />
The new edition continues John Fleming’s<br />
breadth of vision.<br />
The authors of the new edition preserve<br />
Professor Fleming’s scholarship while<br />
contributing their own insight. The result is<br />
clearly outstanding.<br />
TORTS: COMMENTARY AND MATERIALS,<br />
10TH EDITION<br />
Sappideen, Vines, Grant and Watson<br />
Torts: Commentary and Materials, 10 th Edition<br />
continues to provide expert commentary on<br />
carefully selected extracts from each area of<br />
tort law. Considerable emphasis is placed on<br />
the choice of classic cases as well as engaging<br />
topical examples.<br />
The 10 th edition has been streamlined and<br />
restructured to more accurately reflect the<br />
subject as taught in Australian universities.<br />
Each area of the book has been revised and<br />
condensed to increase clarity, and the “Standard<br />
of care” and “Breach of duty” chapters have<br />
been combined to better integrate these issues.<br />
In this new edition the changes created by the<br />
Civil Liability Act regimes in each jurisdiction<br />

SNELL’S EQUITY, 32ND EDITION<br />
PLUS SUPPLEMENT<br />
John McGhee<br />
This bestselling title provides definitive guidance<br />
on equity, analysing the five ancient equitable<br />
doctrines of conversion, reconversion, election,<br />
performance and satisfaction.<br />
Snell’s Equity shows how the complex rules<br />
of equity apply in practice, and interprets the<br />
principles and their application in different<br />
modern situations. It examines how the principles<br />
can be applied in practice in trusts, probate<br />
and mortgages to solve clients’ problems, and<br />
explores the growing application of trusts and<br />
fiduciary obligations in commercial contexts. A<br />
wide range of equitable remedies are considered,<br />
and the implications of all recent legislative and<br />
case law developments are dealt with.<br />

Leading succession authority Professor Leroy<br />
