Tuesday, 5 September5.30pm – 6.30pmCivil Liability updateChair: The Hon Justice Kenneth MartinSupreme Court Western Australia
GiGi VisscherBarrister, Francis Burt Chambers
TortsAn overview of parts of the Civil Liability Act 2002, including:
• liability for harm caused by the fault of a person
• liability relating to public function
• good samaritans• apologies• proportionate liability
GiGi Visscher provides focused discussion on proportionate liability, including a review of:
• the recent case law, such as:• Hunt & Hunt Lawyers v Mitchell Morgan Nominees Pty
Ltd [2013] HCA 10• Hart v JGC Accounting and Financial Services Pty Ltd
[2015] WASCA 22• important differences regarding proportionate liability in
similar legislation in other States• difficulties likely to be encountered by legal practitioners.

In late 2015, an application for judicial review was commenced to challenge the environmental approval of the proposed extension of the Roe Highway from the Kwinana Freeway to the Port of Fremantle through the Beeliar Wetlands. At first instance, the application for judicial review succeeded on the basis that the Environmental Protection Authority failed to have regard to its own policies when recommending that the Environment Minister approve the proposal. On appeal, the WA Court of Appeal held that the EPA policies were not mandatory relevant considerations and so any failure to consider them could not invalidate the environmental approval. These two decisions provide the ideal seminar setting in which to address the question of when policy will be a mandatory relevant consideration.
Level: Intermediate/Advanced
Various recent surveys indicate a large rise in the value of fraud being committed in Australia with businesses losing as much as 5% of their annual turnover, with only a small percentage of this being recovered.
In today’s economic climate, it is vital to take every precaution possible to reduce exposure to fraud resulting in financial loss, brand damage and service interruption which are the most common consequences. Ian Katz and Sophie Raven from PwC’s Cyber and Forensic and Legal teams discuss fraud providing examples and insights, as well as actions for business and lawyers to take in order to mitigate fraud.

On 13 June 2017, Prime Minister Turnbull warned that since September 2014, Australia has seen five attacks and 12 disruptions of terrorist plots. The Attorney-General’s Department stated in December 2015 that “Australians currently face the most significant threat from terrorism in our nation’s history.” National security has always been at the core of the national interest. The primary object of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) (MA) is to “regulate, in the national interest, the coming into, and presence in, Australia of non-citizens”. This seminar examines how national security considerations affect migration decision-making.
Level: Intermediate
Community legal centres exist to help society’s most vulnerable to access justice, and are remarkably resilient. As the public interest law sector comes under more pressure from increased demands for services and downward pressure on traditional funding sources, community legal centres must increasingly engage with the business of funding and income diversification in addition to service delivery. Private law firms and government also play an important role in helping community legal centres to service growing demand, as do volunteer law students. Join the Hon Justice Margaret Beazley AO and a distinguished panel as they share insights into the smart collaborations that enable the community legal sector to adapt to change while delivering great outcomes.

The Legal Profession Complaints Committee sees a number of complaints arising from misleading conduct by lawyers towards clients, the court, colleagues or the general public. Misleading conduct can range from ‘innocent’ or ‘inadvertent’ to ‘deliberate’ or ‘conscious’ – the latter being at the high end of dishonesty.
Misleading behaviour includes:• oral and written legal submissions• affidavits and witness statements• communication with opponents, clients and the court• advertising, marketing and promotion
This seminar provides practical tips when responding to a complaint from the LPCC including the importance of obtaining good legal advice and not compounding the misleading behaviour in your response.
A light lunch is provided.
Level: General

Our mental health can be challenged by anxiety, depression, stress, and more. We may purport not to experience them; however it’s likely we will at some stage in life. With mental health issues, many of us are still taking the option of suffering in silence. Imagine a world where, upon noticing we’re not feeling physically or mentally healthy, we express how we’re feeling and openly reach out for help. Our mental health is of the utmost importance and needs to be treated accordingly. This seminar looks specifically at managing our mental health and is complimentary for Law Society members to mark World Mental Health Day - includes a light lunch.

More and more, organisations are turning to non-traditional ways to raise much needed capital. One of the most successful tools in recent times has been the use of crowdfunding platforms. Crowdfunding has been used around the world by producers to fund movies and plays, politicians to raise campaign funds, charities to get donations and, of course, companies to raise capital. While crowdfunding has taken off in a big way here in Australia, especially in the start-up space, until recently the regulatory framework restricted its use for the traditional ‘shares for investment’ model. However, new changes will now allow for equity crowdfunding. This seminar discusses how crowdfunding works, its use in Australia and certain other jurisdictions, the current regulatory framework in Australia and the exciting changes that have been introduced.
