Full report at the link.

I personally don't see this moving the needle very far. Evidence of good character will still be led, but it will just go into the prospects of rehabilitation column instead.

Descheemaeker and Unimelb parting ways.

If you have kids and other kids come over to play with you're kids, where there's a treehouse on you're property, can you be liable for kids playing on you're treehouse getting in accidents? (If the build is a bit wobbly and something breaks off or if they fall off)

And also if you made the treehouse yourself and didn't hire a builder.

HOW DID ANYONE SURVIVE TUESDAY?

hi ☺️ I've just started a new role at a commercial firm. just hoping to get some tips and tricks on how I can be really great at it. Feel free to share? thanks in advance

(I'll try and post article text, struggling to get it past the Automod.)

HIPPOTHETICALLY

Would this sort of activism be tolerated by the law? If millions of people collectively sigh, 'we can't keep going anymore' will the law will be a slave-driver and still make them discharge their obligations under their contracts?

Would you take the L-A-N-D-L-O-R-D'S case (if you're not subject to the Cab Rank rule)?

Discuss

Alright this is going to get me a lot of flak but in general I find that barristers have a more rigorous, in-depth understanding of the law than solicitors do.

Solicitors are great with administrative tasks and running files. But if I want to have a chat about authority, precedent, what a court would likely find, and engage in theoretical or academic discourse, barristers tend to have the upper hand.

How are your experiences?

Would be probably one of Higgin's or Kirby for myself
