Subject: Re: ODG- Party case submissions for appeal to High Court of Australia

Colleagues, this is indeed helpful, and tracks what the Supreme Court
of Canada has been doing for a while now. You have to enter a party
name or docket number under SCC Case Information on the Court's
website; then, after you get the case you want, you choose Factums from
the left-hand frame, at which point you'll get all party and intervenor
submissions For example: here's the link to the submissions in Broome v
Prince Edward Island:

which I have just noticed. It seems that the High Court of Australia is
now making available the parties' submissions on appeals on the
official HCA website- see
http://www.hcourt.gov.au/cases/current-cases-submissions . This may
have been there previously, but I had missed it. There are currently,
for example, two very interesting cases under consideration by the
Court on causation issues in tort, the appeals in Amaca v Booth and
Strong v Woolworths, and the competing written submissions are
available and make very interesting reading.
