Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Resolving Conflicts of Laws was cited 6 times by the High Court in Momcilovic v The Queen (2011) 2451 CLR 1; [2011] HCA 34. It has also been cited in the Same-Sex Marriage Case (Commonwealth of Australia v Australian Capital Territory) (2013) 250 CLR 441; [2013] HCA 55 at [61], in Plaintiff M47-2012 v Director General of Security (2012) 251 CLR 1; [2012] HCA 46 at [54] and [136], in Sportsbet Pty Ltd v New South Wales (2012) 249 CLR 298; [2012] HCA 13 at [10], in CFMEU v Director of the Fair Work Building Industry Inspectorate (No 2) (2013) 209 FCR 464; [2013] FCAFC 25 at [61]; in Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council v Williams [2017] ACTCA 46 at [45] and [47] and in a large number of other appellate and first instance decisions. \n\nAn important feature in all legal systems, but especially in federations whose polities have overlapping legislative powers, is that those laws regularly conflict or at least are claimed to conflict. Any coherent legal system must have principles for resolving such conflicts. Those principles are of immense practical as well as theoretical importance. This book, which straddles constitutional law and statutory interpretation, describes and analyses those principles.\nThis book does not merely address the conflicts between Commonwealth and State laws resolved by the Constitution (although it does that and in detail). It analyses the resolution of all of the conflicts of laws that occur in the Australian legal system: conflicts between laws enacted by the same Parliament and indeed within the same statute, conflicts between Commonwealth, State, Territory, Imperial laws and delegated legislation.\nAfter identifying the laws in force in Australia, the chapters deal with:\n\nconflicts in laws made by the same legislature, focussing on the interpretative process of statutory construction;\nrepugnancy, a doctrine with continuing vitality in the areas of s79 of the Judiciary Act, delegated legislation and Territory laws;\nconflicts between laws of the Commonwealth and State laws, proposing that the categories of inconsistency (commonly three: direct, indirect and covering the field) are best seen aspects of a single constitutional concept;\nconflicts between the laws of two States, and\nconflicts involving the laws of the self-governing Territories\n An important feature in all legal systems, but especially in federations whose polities have overlapping legislative powers, is that those laws regularly conflict - or at least are claimed to conflict. Any coherent legal system must have principles for resolving such conflicts. This book describes and analyses those principles.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. This work explains how statutes underpin and inform the whole of the law of negligence. Although the civil liability legislation has highlighted the foundational role of statutes, in truth this has been the case for many decades. The book shows how throughout the entirety of the law of negligence - including duty, breach, causation, contributory negligence, statutory contribution, proportionate liability and damages - statutes have been responsible for the law as it is now understood and practised. In particular, the law of causation, of damages for mental harm and the immunity of highway authorities are shown to have been deeply informed by statute. Moreover, the contribution of statutes is demonstrated to be vital, complex and interesting. The book's purpose is both educational and practical. While it will strengthen the reader's conceptual understanding of the complex ways in which statutes and the common law interact to produce the law of negligence, the book is far from a work of abstract theory. On the contrary, its focus is on the very significant practical consequences that flow from the interaction. As such, it will be of enormous assistance to any practitioner seeking to understand or practise in the area. The coverage is Australia-wide.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Since its initial publication in 2012, Authority to Decide has established itself as the pre-eminent resource for Australian practitioners and courts dealing with questions of jurisdiction. It has been cited regularly in judgments of the High Court of Australia, and in dozens of first instance and appellate judgments of other courts. Some of propositions advanced in the first edition have subsequently received judicial support, helping to shape the development of the law.\n\nEach chapter in the second edition has been thoroughly updated to incorporate a wealth of new case law. The coverage of the work has also expanded. Highlights include:\n\n Updated analysis of the investment of jurisdiction by the Commonwealth cross-vesting legislation, including its effect in bankruptcy, the jurisdiction of State and Territory courts in "special federal matters" and a new section on appeals which lie from State and Territory courts to federal courts.\n Extensive analysis of developments in jurisdictional error, including the High Court judgments in Hossain and SZMTA.\n Updated analysis of "accrued jurisdiction" (a term deprecated by the High Court in Rizeq v Western Australia) and the nature of decisions affected by jurisdictional error (including by reference to State of New South Wales v Kable).\n New sections on the jurisdictions of the New South Wales Court of Appeal and Court of Criminal Appeal.\n\nAuthority to Decide enables the reader to gain a deep and nuanced understanding of the complex legal principles governing issues of jurisdiction. It engages with the academic literature, but at its heart it remains a very practical work, offering guidance both to practitioners seeking to invoke the jurisdiction of a court, and to the judges exercising it.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. This strikingly original book explains how the Australian legal system is structured, and how that structure informs the way novel questions of law are argued and decided.One of this books themes is that, in the minority of litigation which involves the determination of a question of law, it often makes sense to regard the legal system as an entangled product of statute and judge-made law, within which common law and equity are separate components. Another is that the actual workings of the legal system are far more complex than appears in most accounts, and within that complexity lies the scope for principled development. A third is that an appreciation of legal history will almost always assist in the resolution of novel questions of law, mostly by lightening the weight of precedent.The book analyses what is meant by the common law of Australia, what is the relationship between judge-made law and statutes, and how courts resolve novel questions of law. It explains why some questions are best regarded as aspects of the common law, why others are best regarded as questions of statutory construction, why some are difficult to characterise, and why this matters. It also explains why equity continues to be a distinct component of judge-made law, with a different relationship with statute. And it gives a nuanced account of precedent and the role of authority from different jurisdictions. The ideas in some of the chapters are illustrated by dialogues between a teacher and students, replicating a once common form of legal literature, including St Germains Doctor and Student, published half a millennium ago.

The current edition continues the approach of examining these developments closely and critically. It also maintains links with United States judgments and literature, including cross-references to the monumental (1820 page) 8th edition of Hart and Wechlers The Federal Courts and the Federal System published in January 2025.
