Applying specialist accreditation in Alternate Dispute Resolution – on-demand recording

1 CPD Unit  On-demand recording
.
Online

The escalating costs of litigation compel an increasing number of litigants to seek Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR). This can take the form of arbitration, mediation and collaborative interaction between solicitors. To attract litigants to any of these alternate dispute resolutions, confidence in the lawyers conducting the ADR is enhanced by the knowledge that not only are their legal representative and other lawyers participating practitioners who are knowledgeable in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia process but, importantly, can assist their clients in attaining a speedy and cost-effective resolution with minimal emotional and financial costs. Specialist accreditation is a vital step towards gaining the confidence of litigants to embrace ADR.

Complexities in product liability claims – on-demand recording

1 CPD Unit  On-demand recording
.
Online

Causation and its intersection with an increased risk and increased incidence have raised issues of some complexity and debate for a number of years. The role of the ‘but for’ test, loss of a chance, material contribution and a necessary condition of the occurrence of harm in common law causation were clarified in 2010 by the High Court of Australia in Amaca v Ellis [2010] HCA 5 and Tabet v Gett [2010] HCA 12. On the other hand, it appears that questions of causation in the assessment of damages for breaches of statutory guarantees may still involve complex issues that are less than clear. In this session, Colin Loveday will lead a discussion on the recent and evolving jurisprudence of causation in claims for damages under the Australian Consumer Law in recent product liability claims.

Compulsory Third Party insurance claims – on-demand recording

This presentation focuses on the concepts of voluntary assumption of risk, joint illegal enterprise and the agony of the moment for claims under the Motor Accident Injuries Act 2017 (NSW) and Motor Accidents Compensation Act 1999 (NSW). While joint illegal enterprise operates at the level of whether a duty of care exists, the other principles arise in the context of whether a motorist has breached their duty of care. After considering the fundamental principles, consideration is given to their practical application.

Employees vs. Contractors: Reviewing the current tax and legal landscape – on-demand recording

1 CPD Unit  On-demand recording

Whether an individual is an employee or contractor is a key commercial matter, as it can give rise to tax and legal implications for a business. Failure by a business to correctly characterise a worker can result in underpayment of worker entitlements (such as PAYG and superannuation), not meeting payroll tax obligations and create risk of an employment claim. This session will provide: (i) an overview of the current tax and legal landscape following the recent High Court and Federal Court decisions in Jamsek v ZG Operations [2022] HCA 2 and the Fair Work Commission’s decision in Deliveroo Australia Pty Ltd v Diego Franco [2022] FWCFB 156; (ii) review activity of the ATO and Revenue NSW in light of these decisions; (iii) income tax, superannuation and payroll tax obligations for businesses that engage contractors; (iv) nuances in the employee and contractor tests for income tax, superannuation and payroll tax; and (v) importance of a written contract and whether this provides a complete solution.
