Court of Appeal: 2020 Year in Review
Members’ attention is drawn to a new publication entitled “A Year in Review: 2020” which seeks to gather all of the decisions delivered by New South Wales Court of Appeal during the course of 2020 in a single hyperlinked document. This is designed to allow a reader to quickly identify recent decisions delivered by the Court of Appeal in a given area of legal interest with greater specificity, rather than simply by reference to generalised catchwords such as “Administrative law” or “Contract”. Each of the decisions digested contain detailed catchwords with a hyperlink to the full text of the decision.
It is hoped this will provide a valuable resource for judges, practitioners, litigants, academics and students, and that a similar document will be published on an annual as well as consolidated basis.
The publication will be available on the Court of Appeal website and can be found here.
