Leading Cases in Australian Law provides, in essence, a summary of the 200 most cited cases in Australian law. Each case note contains an outline of the facts, issues and decision, an extract of the most frequently cited portions of the judgment, commentary incorporating later decisions on the topic, and cross-references to the leading texts on the legal area of the case. Finally, under each case heading there is a single-sentence proposition for which the case stands as authority, and these are later collated in a table for easy reference. This is the first book of its kind published in Australia, and it is intended to serve as a portrait of Australian law as currently practised. Appendices are included to complete this picture, providing further information such as lists of top cases by subject area, and a ranking of the most cited judges. This book will be useful to law students, who will likely encounter most of these cases during the course of their degree, as well as to legal practitioners, who will find it a useful reference for the cases that have faded from memory since law school as well as the cases cited in daily practice.
EC tax practitioners often find it difficult to locate specific references to precise subjects in the case law. Applying the approach he successfully employed in Kluwer's Directory on EC Case Law on Competition and Directory on EC Case Law on State Aids, Rene Barents overcomes that difficulty by presenting a collection of case law extracts sorted by key subject areas under the following major topics: * Fiscal Sovereignty and Community Law; * Direct Taxation and Free Movement; * Restrictions on Free Movement by Tax Measures; * Restrictions Resulting from Disparities between National Tax Systems; * Comparable and Incomparable Tax Situations; * Justifications of Restrictions on Free Movement by Direct Taxation; * Free Movement and Direct Taxation of Natural Persons; and * Free Movement and Direct Taxation of Companies and Shareholders. Given this directory's streamlined accessibility to the relevant case law, EC tax specialists will refer to it often and quickly classify it as an indispensable resource.
The book is a practical guide to Australian class action law and practice. It examines in detail federal and state class action statutory provisions and case law along with the representative action procedures available under the rules of the various Australian courts. There is also detailed coverage of statutory provisions which facilitate class action or group proceedings in the areas of discrimination, migration, trade practices, corporations law, industrial relations and privacy. In addition to a review of relevant statutory provisions, case law and procedural rules the book examines laws relating to fee arrangements, the funding of class action litigation and costs. Numerous legal and practical issues relating to the commencement, conduct and conclusion of class action and representative proceedings are reviewed. The use of class actions in particular areas of law is examined with particular reference to toxic torts, product liability, investor litigation, price fixing, immigration and human rights. The book also provides comparative information on class action litigation in other jurisdictions including England and Wales, Canada and the United States. This includes an examination of the potential for Australian claimants to bring proceedings in foreign jurisdictions. The author has had considerable practical experience in the conduct of group and class action proceedings before Australian, English and United States courts and has taught litigation and a post graduate course on class actions and complex litigation at the University of Sydney Law School. The book will be of particular interest to litigation lawyers, academics, law students and members of the community with an interest in class action law and practice. |
