Event Outline

This seminar discusses recent developments in respect of the penalty rule, before going on to whether Australian law recognises two jurisdictions to relieve against penalties – one in equity and another at common law – or instead a unitary penalty doctrine. The Australian position will be critically assessed against the approach taken elsewhere. Also discussed is how the recent developments are playing out ‘on the ground’, and whether the shift towards the 'interests test' ought to be welcomed.
