Taking a realistic approach A year in review: Caselaw update – Marco Bianchino, Barrister, Culwulla Chambers Marco Bianchino will be presenting on the significant decisions of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia over the previous 12 months. This has been an important period of change and development in family law jurisprudence: the amendments to the property provisions of the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) came into effect in June 2025, and the Court continues to develop its approach to the 2024 amendments to s 60CC in parenting proceedings. The Full Court's decision in Shinohara & Shinohara and its wide-ranging implications is but one example of significant adjustments to longstanding approaches in property matters under the Family Law Act as a result of the amendments. On the parenting side, what it means to formulate an arrangement that will ‘promote the safety’ of a child and their parents, and how that sits against the historic parenting case law, is an ongoing project that has seen substantial development over the past year. These are substantial decisions that impact the day-to-day advice practitioners trade in. The presentation will cover a range of decisions and topics including parenting, property, financial agreements, costs, evidence, procedure and professional conduct. Practitioners should inform themselves of Rule 6.1 of the Legal Profession Uniform Continuing Professional Development (Solicitors) Rules 2015 which sets out the requirements for the four (4) mandatory CPD areas for NSW legal practitioners – (a) ethics and professional responsibility; (b) practice management and business skills; (c) professional skills; and (d) substantive law. It is the responsibility of each legal practitioner to self-assess as to whether a particular educational activity extends their knowledge and skills in areas that are relevant to their practice needs or professional development. If so, then the practitioner may claim one (1) “unit” for each hour of attendance, refreshment breaks not included. If you self-assess that this particular educational activity extends your knowledge and skills, this program may allow you to claim four (4) of the mandatory areas: (a) ethics and professional responsibility; (b) practice management and business skills; (c) professional skills; and (d) substantive law.
