Victims can now read their statements in open court prior to sentencing. State jurisdictions are affected, including Magistrates, County and Supreme Courts. In terms of everyday practice, and the processes that court advocates must now be familiar with, the changes are some of the most radical to impact on sentencing in recent years. Prosecutors, defence lawyers and the bench need to know what is allowable, what may be challenged, and, importantly, how this process will affect sentencing outcomes. This session includes defence and prosecution perspectives, and allows for questions and discussion from delegates.

On 1 January 2011 the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) came into force. The ACL is a single national law concerning consumer protection and fair trading, which replaces 20 or so disparate pieces of State, Federal and Territory legislation, including parts of the Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cth) and the Fair Trading Act 1999 (Vic). Toby Mullen of Greens List introduces you to the ACL, providing an overview of how and when the ACL applies, and answers questions such as: “what happened to section 52 of the Trade Practices Act 1974?” Toby will then focuses on the new unfair contract terms regime in the ACL, with a particular emphasis on what it means for lawyers when drafting standard form contracts.

Increasingly, workplace laws are enforced by the imposition of substantial fines under an array of civil penalty provisions in the Fair Work Act 2009 and the Building and Construction Industry Improvement Act 2005. While unions and employers may bring civil penalty actions, many of these cases are brought by Commonwealth-funded regulators such as the Fair Work Ombudsman and the Australian Building and Construction Commissioner. This session explores how the courts have approached the penalty-fixing task, in particular how the courts have dealt with issues such as vicarious and accessorial liability, multiple contraventions, prior contraventions and discounting factors.
