Shining a light on a less than classy act - Gill v Ethicon Sàrl (No 12) [2023] FCA 902

Check out my recent video presentation entitled "Shining a light on a less than classy act - Gill v Ethicon Sàrl (No 12) [2023] FCA 902". In this presentation I look at Justice Lee's decision concerning Shine Lawyer’s application for an additional $32 million in legal costs from the group settlement amount in the pelvic mesh litigation.

Milking it for all it’s worth - ACCC v Lactalis Australia Pty Ltd

Check out my recent video presentation entitled "Milking it for all it’s worth - ACCC v Lactalis Australia Pty Ltd" in which I look at Derrington J's liability and penalty decisions in the ACCC's first enforcement action under the Dairy Code. A somewhat strange penalty judgment with the judge seeming to minimise the seriousness of Lactalis' conduct and then imposing a penalty which was around 70% of the statutory maximum.
