Dear all,

 

I’m conducting a study of HCA negligence decisions since 2010. As part of the study, I’m compiling a list of aspects of Australian negligence law that are unique relative to Canada and the UK (and sometimes other common law/civil jurisdictions) during my study period. I’m focusing on the common law, not the state civil liability legislation. So far I have advocate’s immunity and (arguably) the salient features approach to novel duties (but not really its content).  

 

Is anyone aware of any other examples (even prior to 2010)?

 

Many thanks!
