Law of Caveats- Revised Edition (2025)
Law of Caveats provides much-needed guidance on the law relating to caveats throughout Australia. The Torrens system of registered title operates throughout Australia and caveats are central to it, sitting at the heart of the statutes. Caveats provide protection to equitable interests in land within a system that supports the primacy of registered interests. Lodgment of caveats is core work for any property lawyer, yet many practitioners do not understand the role, purpose and importance of caveats. While caveats are generally discussed in property texts, the Law of Caveats will be the only current Australian text focusing exclusively on this major area in property law. This work provides the ‘life-cycle’ of caveats. Adopting a transaction-based structure, it explains what a caveat is, when it should be used, what interests in land are caveatable, how a caveat may be lodged or removed, and claims for compensation for wrongfully lodged caveats. It provides particular focus on the question of what interests are caveatable as this is the most opaque and heavily litigated question.

McMeel on The Construction of Contracts 4th Ed (2025)
This fourth edition is an authority on the construction of contracts. It uniquely encompasses all the principal techniques by which the meaning and effect of agreements are ascertained: the interpretation of express language, the implication of terms, and the rectification of documents. The general principles of interpretation and the implication of terms implied in fact-or gap-fillers-have been relatively settled in the period since the last edition. Meanwhile terms implied in law, or general default rules, have come to the forefront in a sequence of Supreme Court judgments, including Wells v Devani, Triple Point Technology Inc v PTT, Barton v Morris, and Philipp v Barclays Bank, which have emphasized their role in providing transactional templates and setting minimum standards. Likewise, this edition explores the changes to the principles of common mistake rectification, analysing the impact of the Court of Appeal in FSHC Group Holdings v Glas Trust, and the Supreme Court in RMT v Nexus.

Agency: Law and Principles 5th Edition (2025)
Questions of agency regularly arise in the work of commercial practitioners. Agency: Law and Principles, now in its fifth edition, addresses these questions by offering a clear and accessible analysis of the principles of agency law and the concept of agency. Forensic analysis of the most up-to-date case law is combined with a practical approach to the law which accurately reflects modern commercial realities, considering the application of agency principles according to particular classes of agents operating in the major commercial sectors. Areas discussed include actual and apparent authority of an agent, agency of necessity, sub-agency and termination of agency, want of authority and ratification looking at the legal relations between principal and agent, as well as the relations between agent and third party. This fifth edition has been fully updated to include all significant new case law and legislation, including the Supreme Court decisions in Barton v Morris [2023] AC 684, Philipp v Barclays Bank UK Plc [2024] AC 346, and Rukhadze v Recovery Partners GP Ltd [2025] 2 WLR 529. A new section has been added on agency and attribution in the context of company law. As algorithmic agreements via electric platforms complicate the concept of agency, consideration has been given to the relevance of the law of agency in this context, too.

Discharge of Contractual Obligations (2025)
Challenging orthodox understandings within modern contract law, Discharge of Contractual Obligations provides an innovative doctrinal, historical, and theoretical account of the discharge of contractual obligations. This book delves into a fundamental question: under what circumstances are parties released from their contractual duties for reasons other than performance of those duties? By re-examining cases of breach, frustration, and common mistake — three key doctrines in modern English contract law — this monograph demonstrates how these disparate areas of contract law are in fact instances of the discharge of contractual obligations due to a failure of condition. Championing the once-dominant 'failure of condition' model in English law, a straightforward yet groundbreaking explanation for discharge is proposed: ordinarily, parties do not promise to perform 'no matter what,' but instead make promises that depend on various explicit and implicit conditions.

Patent Claims: Interpretation, Validity and Infringement (2025)
Patent Claims: Interpretation, Validity and Infringement is an exposition on the crux of Australian patent law. Patent claims emerged in UK patent drafting custom from the mid-19th to the early 20th centuries, and obtained their Anglo-Australian legal status as the definers of patent scope in the 1930s. Today, patent claims are the fulcrum of modern patent law in Australia and other patent territories. This book explains the role that patent claims play; the basis upon which claims are construed; the principal grounds which must be satisfied for claims to be valid; and the main bases upon which infringement liability may arise. It has an intense focus on the body of principles that have evolved over several decades under the Patents Act 1990 (Cth), and in which Australian patent law can be seen to be both highly distinguishable from, and purposefully harmonised with, modern UK law. A key feature of the book is its cohesive treatment, in which cross-cutting influences are referenced to permit the reader to understand connections and trade-offs. This book, the first of its kind in Australia, is a must-have resource for lawyers, patent attorneys, judges, students and those in patent-dependent industries or who administer the Australian patent system.

Cowen & Zines- Federal Jurisdiction in Aust. 5th Ed (2025)
The 5th edition of Cowen and Zines’s Federal Jurisdiction in Australia incorporates a spate of important developments of the last nine years over most areas of federal jurisdiction. These include decisions in all Australian States concerning the determination of federal matters in State tribunals following Burns v Corbett, the bona fide invocation of jurisdiction in Citta Hobart Pty Ltd v Cawthorn, the requirement of a matter in an appeal in AZC20 v Minister and the nature of federal jurisdiction in the self-governing Territories in Vunilagi v The Queen. Each of those decisions (and many others) have cited earlier editions of this work, which is widely regarded as authoritative in an area essential to practice as well as to the understanding of the Australian legal system. The current edition continues the approach of examining these developments closely and critically. It also maintains links with United States judgments and literature, including cross-references to the monumental (1820 page) 8th edition of Hart and Wechsler’s The Federal Courts and the Federal System published in January 2025.

Australian Criminal Trial Procedure (2025)
This new book by retired Supreme Court Justice, the Hon Dean Mildren, author of The Appellate Jurisdiction of the Courts in Australia, is the first book to provide an overview of criminal trial practice and procedure that covers every Australian jurisdiction. Since the middle of the 20th century the practice of criminal law has undergone fundamental modification as a consequence of rapid social and technological change. The new procedures are the result of legislation and case law in each of the nine jurisdictions where criminal law is practised. Of growing importance has been the integration of Commonwealth legislation both in the traditional areas of criminal law, but also in new areas such as terrorism, national security and drugs. The consequences of a finding of guilt or of innocence following a criminal trial are examined as the idea that once the criminal trial and any sentence imposed is complete there are no further consequences is no longer true. While overall there are similar legislative provisions in each jurisdiction there are also many differences, particularly in the details.

For the Sovereignty of the People (1999)
This is a book on politics, history and legal philosophy like no other. Featuring an introduction by the late Sir Walter Campbell AC QC, former Governor and Chief Justice of Queensland, it argues that the republican ideal of government ...of the people, by the people, for the people has permanently parted company from the republican form of government. A monarchist, not a royalist, the author argues that the important aspects of the monarchy are not the sentimental or tabloid details, but the constitutional role that has evolved within parliamentary democracy over centuries, in Britain and the rest of the Commonwealth. The book advocates the importance of the Crown in the Westminster parliamentary system of democracy, to limit executive power and help preserve peaceful, culturally diverse societies in Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada and New Zealand. Contrasts are presented between the legal safeguards inherent in the Westminster system with the failures of governance in the United States and France.

Ministerial Advisers in Australia - The Modern Legal Context (2016)
From their origins in the shadows of Australian public administration, ministerial advisers have been increasingly thrust into the limelight through scandals that appear on the front page of the newspapers. This book traces the rise in the power and significance of Australian ministerial advisers. It shows the fundamental shift of the locus of power from the neutral public service to highly political and partisan ministerial advisers. The book demonstrates that the introduction of ministerial advisers into the structure of the Executive has led to the erosion of the Australian system of responsible government. This is caused by a failure in the political, legal and managerial accountability frameworks surrounding ministerial advisers. Ministerial Advisers in Australia is the first comprehensive study of the legal and political regulation of Australian ministerial advisers. This book features material from original interviews with Australian Ministers and Members of Parliament, as well as several former State Premiers.

Policing Vulnerability (2012)
In a constantly evolving context of performance management, accountability and risk assessment, police organisations and frontline police officers are required to pay careful attention to what has come to be known as ‘at risk people’, ‘vulnerable populations’ or ‘vulnerable people’. Vulnerable people have become a key focus of policy. Concurrently, there have been stronger demands on police, and a steep increase in police powers in relation to their interaction with vulnerable people. The premise of this protectionist and interventionist agenda is threefold: to protect the rights of vulnerable individuals proactively cater for their vulnerability within the justice system; and to secure police operations and protocols within strict guidelines. This collection unpacks ‘vulnerable people policing’ in theory and practice and guides the reader through the policing process as it is experienced by police officers, victims, offenders, witnesses and justice stakeholders. Each chapter features a single step of the policing process: from police recruit education through to custody, and the final transfer of vulnerable people to courts and sentencing.

Western Legal Traditions -A Comparison of Civil Law & Common Law
The rule of law constitutes the hallmark of contemporary Western society. However, public perceptions and attitudes to the law can vary in space and time. This book explores legal solutions to selected problem scenarios in their broader historical, economic, political and societal context. The focus is on the legal traditions of civil law and common law. The book is premised on the assumption – indeed, the conviction – that use of the comparative method both facilitates and promotes a deeper understanding of the society in which we live and the rules by which it is shaped. Major ‘threads’ that run through the book are the relationship between law and morality, the role of the state in regulating human interaction, as well as the relationship between the state and the individual.

Policing the Rural Crisis (2006)
This book brings a fresh approach to the study of crime that challenges the urban-centric assumptions of much western criminology and sociology. It explores rural crime and social reactions to it, in relation to processes and patterns of community formation and change in rural Australia, including the social, economic, cultural and political forces shaping the history, structure and everyday life of rural communities. Policing the Rural Crisis is based on five years of extensive original empirical research in rural and regional Australia. It draws on ideas and debates in contemporary social theory across several disciplines, making the analysis relevant to the study of crime and social change elsewhere.

From Protection to Competition (2015)
Economists have explored the effect of restrictive practices on markets, and legal scholars have examined the legislation, policies and institutions in specific cases. This work takes a historical approach and examines the occurrence of cartels and other restrictive practices in Australia, their resilience, and the attempts to constrain them. Fixing prices and rigging markets began with the First Fleet. Many practices were imported but home-grown firms embraced the anti-competitive culture. The small market size and population encouraged firms to stabilise their working environment. Colonial government legislation against these anti-competitive practices largely failed. The first anti-trust legislation, passed in 1906, proved useless. Despite evidence of restrictive business practices, four Constitutional referendums to give the Federal government power to control trusts and monopolies failed, as did legislation in individual states.

Pillars of Power examines Australia's most important political, legal, and social institutions--the government, the courts, the unions, the media, the economic regulators, the defence and security apparatus, the universities, even sport. David Solomon looks at how these institutions have changed in the modern era and how they operate today--their influence, their strengths and their weaknesses. His book is based on extensive interviews with the people who have driven the change, most notably in the phenomenal growth in prime ministerial power and the downgrading of Parliament.

Sir Valentine Fleming - Second Chief Justice of Tasmania
This biography, the 12th in Bennett’s Lives of Australian Chief Justices, commemorates the distinguished career of Tasmania’s Sir Valentine Fleming. An English barrister of Irish descent and education, Fleming arrived in Hobart as Insolvency Commissioner. A “useful man” to government, he advanced as Crown Law Officer and served ex officio in the Legislative Council until succeeding Sir John Pedder as Chief Justice in 1854. This elevation released Fleming from a political role he hated and enabled him to dispel the enmity his pro-government views in that role had attracted.

Sir John Pedder - First Chief Justice of Tasmania
John Pedder, a shy, ascetic, “gentlemanly” personality, was appointed first Chief Justice of Tasmania in 1823. Even he was surprised; he had been only three years in practice. Probably, his loyalty to the Church of England appealed to the Colonial Office. The new Chief Justice was shocked by the cost of living in the convict colony of Van Diemen’s Land, the reduced state of society, and the harshness of the dominant penal system. He was acutely conscious of the finality of the death penalty and publicly protested the ill-treatment of Tasmanian Aborigines. In his very first trial, the first held in any Australian Supreme Court, a white man was convicted of the manslaughter of an Aboriginal.

Sir Charles Cooper - First Chief Justice of South Australia
Charles Cooper, a timid, retiring, weak-voiced, sickly and barely successful English barrister, accepted appointment as Judge in South Australia in 1839. A sound rather than a brilliant lawyer, duty was his watchword, evangelical churchmanship his consolation. For 17 years, he trudged on through illness and the meanness of the Colonial Office which saw him one of the worst paid judges on colonial service. In 1856 he was recognized at last with appointment as the Province’s first Chief Justice. Dr Bennett shows that the appointment was well merited. In a strong re-evaluation, Cooper is shown to have been a good and effective judge, whose puny modern reputation has been shaped too much by the distorted, politically based, views of critics of his day. His early years on the Bench required him to grapple with the problem of trying to apply English law to the indigenous people. He brought peace to a querulous legal profession and did much to reverse entrenched community contempt for authority existing in Adelaide on his arrival.

A History of Australian Legal Education
A History of Australian Legal Education examines the history and development of legal education in Australia by tracing the establishment of university law schools and other forms of legal education in the States and Territories from the time of European settlement in 1788 to the present day. While early Australian legal education was founded on historic practices adopted in England and Wales over many centuries, the circumstances of the Australian colonies, and later States, have led to a unique historical trajectory. The book considers the critical role played by legal education in shaping the culture of law and thus determining how well the legal system operates in practice.

Creighton & Stewart's Labour Law 6th Ed (2016)
The latest edition of this leading text features a new and expanded team of authors, who explain and analyse Australia’s complex system of labour regulation. The book has been substantially restructured and updated to cover the many statutory amendments introduced or proposed over the past five years, especially to the Fair Work legislation, but also on matters such as work health and safety. A particular feature is the coverage of the Productivity Commission’s 2015 report on the workplace relations system, outlining both its assessment of the regulatory framework and recommendations for change. There is discussion too of other important inquiries and reviews, including the Fair Work Commission’s changes to the modern award system and the Heydon Royal Commission into Trade Union Governance and Corruption. The new edition also outlines the policy proposals released during the 2016 election campaign and explores the potential for future reforms.

Biometrics, Medicine and The Criminal Law (3 Volumes) 2012/2013
To date, little analysis exists of the criminal process's roles as a regulator of medical practice and as an arbiter of bioethics, nor whether criminal law is an appropriate forum for judging ethical medical dilemmas. The conscription of criminal law into moral controversy and the (perceived) rise in criminal investigations of medical errors sets the backdrop for this innovative historical and theoretical analysis of the relationship between medicine, bioethics and the criminal process. Case studies on abortion, end of life and the separation of conjoined twins reveal how judges grapple with bioethics in criminal cases and the impact of 'theatre' on the criminal law's response to ethically controversial medical cases. A central argument is that bioethics and criminal law are not necessarily incompatible; rather, it is the theatre surrounding interactions between bioethics and criminal law that often distorts and creates tension.

Practical Guide to Litigation (1998)
Against the background of Lord Woolf's interim report "Access to Justice", this text includes accounts of tactical matters and practical litigation "tips", as well as descriptions of the procedures involved.

The same applies to others who become involved in litigation without actually having to conduct the procudure as lawyers. This book is intended to give a brief, clear and comprehensive overview of litigation, arbitration and ADR in England.

As in the first edition, the commentary is preceded by chapters on the history of the hearsay rule, and the requirements of Article 6(3)(d) of the European Convention on Human Rights. It is followed by an appendix containing the text of the statutory provisions and a selection of the leading cases.

Military Law in Colonial Australia
This book breaks new ground in reviewing the naval and military law of the Australian colonies before their federation in 1901. Its particular focus is on the disciplinary codes contained in Acts of Parliament and subordinate legislation. A disciplinary code takes a certain form having regard to the nature of the force to which it is to apply, which in turn depends on the circumstances in which the force is raised and its proposed role.

Power At Work- Rebuilding the Australian Union Movement
For the past 100 years, Australian unions have played a key role in protecting and improving the wages and working conditions of Australian employees. Now, membership is collapsing and the union movement is under unprecedented political attack. How can it rebuild itself so as to play its role in the modern deregulated, globalised world? In Power at Work, Michael Crosby documents the crisis facing the union movement and focusses on the central role of organising workplaces and industries in an evidence-based plan for renewal. He proposes an agenda which is hardheaded, practical and achievable, one based on the recent experiences of successful unions – unions where the membership numbers are going up.

The Tasmanian Dam Case 30 years on
In one of the great contests between State and federal power, the Tasmanian Dam Case pitted the immovable object of Tasmania’s commitment to a massive hydro-electric project against the irresistible force of the Commonwealth’s determination to protect the environment. Who would prevail? Was it more important to create jobs and provide cheap power, or to preserve the natural beauty of the Tasmanian wilderness? On whom did the Australian Constitution confer the power to decide this question? By the narrowest of majorities, the High Court decided in 1983 that the Commonwealth had the final say, and upheld legislation that prohibited the construction of a dam on the Gordon River below the Franklin.

Juries in the 21st Century (2012)
This book provides a broad understanding of and critical thinking about the contemporary jury system. It fills a void of easily accessible knowledge about how jury trials work and how jury research assists us to formulate new ways to improve the system. Current issues challenging the jury system, such as the impact that technology is having on jury trials, are discussed. Juries in the 21st Century is designed to inform jury practitioners (judges, barristers, instructing solicitors, and forensic experts) about what constitutes best practice for them. It details how other jurisdictions are dealing with issues within their jury systems and allows jury practitioners to understand which practices are based upon fact and which are based on habit, anecdote and other misconceptions.
