It specifically relates to contributions made under section 79(4) or section 90SM(4) of the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth).

The pendulum of institutional abuse law – on-demand recording
1 CPD units
1 CPD Unit On-demand recording |
Online | |
This session will examine the increasingly litigious area of institutional abuse law in Australia. Institutional abuse law is a changing landscape with several matters before the High Court in 2023. The impact and uncertainty that this landscape creates is felt by survivors and the lawyers acting for them. The 2017 $370 million Royal Commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse resulted in the abolition of the Ellis defence in NSW but has not prevented the threat of permanent stay applications. While the Courts have offered some clarity in the relationship between clergy and abusers and in setting aside previous settlements, issues continue to arise and there is significant jurisdictional variation in the assessment of damages.
