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 />

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 />

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 />

in the book.<br />

Some of the topics – particularly in relation<br />

to consumer law – have seen fundamental<br />

legislative changes. These include:<br />

• The introduction of new “unfair contract terms”<br />

and enforcement and remedies provisions by<br />

the Trade Practices Amendment (Australian<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 />

entitlements and procedures under the Fair Work<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 />

Since 2003 climate change and overuse of water<br />

resources have emerged as major challenges<br />

for the environmental legal system. The second<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 />

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 />

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 />

Intellectual property is one of the most<br />

of world trade and economic growth. This area<br />

of law and regulation has gained in importance<br />

wealth is in the form of intellectual capital<br />

rather than physical or material sources.<br />

This latest edition of Intellectual Property:<br />

rights involved in copyright, patents, designs,<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

THE LAW OF SUCCESSION IN NEW<br />

SOUTH WALES, 4TH EDITION<br />

G L Certoma<br />

Leading succession authority Professor Leroy<br />

Certoma, an Acting Judge of the District Court<br />

updated his enduringly popular textbook. With<br />

well over a decade’s developments incorporated,<br />

New South Wales has been eagerly awaited.<br />

Taking into account the recent substantial<br />

changes to legislation and challenges<br />

implementing the Uniform Succession<br />

Law project in New South Wales, this<br />

book carefully addresses the considerable<br />

body of judicial consideration.<br />

Well-rounded in its coverage, The Law of<br />

with a general discussion of the development<br />

and nature of the subject and refers briefly<br />

to transnational considerations increasingly<br />

common with globalisation. It then deals<br />

with intestacy, the law of wills, family<br />

provision, and finally with the administration<br />

of deceased estates.<br />
