There is one last hurdle before concluding a negligence claim. Defences, ranging from volenti to intoxication, are available to the defendant if they are able to identify wrong-doing on the plaintiff's behalf. However, the crucial question is, when does a defence operate to completely negate the defendant's liabiity and when does it provide only a partial reduction in damages? We bring this question up to Giacomo Rotolo-Ross and Ma...

Factual causation and scope of liability, more commonly referred to as causation and remoteness, form the recipe of the third step of the negligence calculus. The Civil Liability Act prescribes a two-step approach for determining whether the damage should be deemed too remote from the original tort. But is it sufficient, logical, easy to work with? On this episode we hear it from Professor Barbara McDonald, the guru in this area. T...

Your very first introductory episode to defences in torts is here! Quite unlikely (and gruesome?), the case law in this area revolves around glass shards being thrown in a stand-off and Jehovah's Witnesses refusing blood transfusions. From necessity to consent, we traverse this difficult landscape with Nam Kiet Nguyen and Patrick Hendy. *Note: pay attention, as the part about Mike Tyson is highly relevant!

Privacy matters. However, there is, as yet, no general tort of invasion of privacy in Australian law. Will a Bill of Rights help? How do countries such as Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom address this issue? We explore these perspectives with Tom Lyons and Miriam Asar, in a comparative study of Australia's stance on privacy law and why it should look ahead.

Private nuisance is complicated. As a remedy for the interference with the use, occupation and enjoyment of land, it complements the action for trespass. There are different liabilities: should the owner be held liable for a loud party hosted by their tenants? Is the occupier accountable for the nuisance created by a trespasser? Can you complain of 526 golf balls when living next to a golf resort? In this episode, we team up with A...

    Ruthie's Table 4

    For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
