Australian Business Law Review Vol 54, Part 1

ABLR Vol 54, Part 1 is out

This edition features four excellent contributions:

* Automated Decision-Making and the Limits of Law Designed for Humans – Christina Allen

* The Case for Regulating Digital Platform Work in Australia and its Implications: A Study of the TWU Applications to the Fair Work Commission – Michael Rawling

* Co-Creating Justice Innovations: Perspectives on the Development of Online Dispute Resolution Technologies – Lola Akin Ojelabi, Fahimeh Abedi, PhD, Louis De Koker and John Zeleznikow

* Book Review - Law, the Sharing Economy, and Platform Technology Businesses by Juan Diaz-Granados and Benedict Sheehy– Reviewed by Rob Nicholls

I would again like to encourage prospective authors to consider submitting their articles to the ABLR. After some teething problems earlier this year due to a change to our production processes, things are now getting back on track.  Therefore a significant advantage in seeking to publish your article in the ABLR is our much quicker turnaround times compared to other leading legal journals. We aim to publish practical business law articles on topical issues in a timely manner, which means we have to operate on shorter time frames.
