Rehabilitating the common intention trust

Position of the common intention principle in Australia - the principle should continue to exist - evidentiary difficulties means that the principle is infrequently invoked - claimants who cannot produce sufficient evidence of a common intention may be entitled to relief via equitable estoppel or the joint endeavour principle - the doctrinal foundation of the common intention trust - alternative rationales for the common intention trust.

A model for the integration of legal research into Australian undergraduate law curricula

The marginalisation of the teaching and learning of legal research in the Australian law school curriculum is, in the author's experience, a condition common to many law schools. This is reflected in the reluctance of some law teachers to include legal research skills in the substantive law teaching schedule — often the result of unwillingness on the part of law school administrators to provide the resources necessary to ensure that such integration does not place a disproportionately heavy burden of assessment on those who are tempted. However, this may only be one of many reasons for the marginalisation of legal research in the law school experience. Rather than analyse the reasons for this marginalisation, this article deals with what needs to be done to rectify the situation, and to ensure that the teaching of legal research can be integrated into the law school curriculum in a meaningful way. This requires the use of teaching and learning theory which focuses on student-centred learning. This article outlines a model of legal research. It incorporates five transparent stages which are: analysis, contextualisation, bibliographic skills, interpretation and assessment and application.

Population ageing and the implications for finanical markets

How will financial institutions respond to the transactions and asset management needs of both the ageing population and their carers? The ageing of the population has generated increased interest from both government and business, including banking and financial services, in the sorts of services that will be required by older people, and how their money and property will be managed. This article examines the trends and implications for banking practice of this increasing population of customers and their carers.

Greene Climacteric Scale: norms in an Australian population in relation to age and menopausal status

Objectives The aim of this study was two-fold: to assess climacteric symptoms and provide normative data for the Greene Climacteric Scale during the menopause transition, and to investigate the prevalence of climacteric symptoms in a representative sample of postmenopausal Australian women. Method A cohort of 500 premenopausal, perimenopausal and postmenopausal women aged 40-80 years participated in the Longitudinal Study of Ageing in Women (LAW study) at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, Brisbane, Australia. In year 1 of the study (2001), all participants completed the Greene Climacteric Scale and information regarding their menopausal status and the use of hormone therapy (HT) was obtained through a clinical interview with a qualified medical practitioner. Results The 50-59-year age group achieved the highest scores on the vasomotor and the depression scales in comparison to other age groups. Significant differences were also evident on the vasomotor and the depression scales on the basis of menopausal status, especially in perimenopausal women. Approximately 10% of women in the 60-79-year age group continued to experience vasomotor symptoms. Conclusion Vasomotor symptoms, as assessed by the Greene Climacteric Scale, are common during the menopause transition and remain elevated for some years in a minority of older postmenopausal women. The norms presented in this study are appropriate for use in an Australian population.

Science-policy in environmental and health risk assessment: if we cannot do without, can we do better?

How can empirical evidence of adverse effects from exposure to noxious agents, which is often incomplete and uncertain, be used most appropriately to protect human health? We examine several important questions on the best uses of empirical evidence in regulatory risk management decision-making raised by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s science-policy concerning uncertainty and variability in human health risk assessment. In our view, the US EPA (and other agencies that have adopted similar views of risk management) can often improve decision-making by decreasing reliance on default values and assumptions, particularly when causation is uncertain. This can be achieved by more fully exploiting decision-theoretic methods and criteria that explicitly account for uncertain, possibly conflicting scientific beliefs and that can be fully studied by advocates and adversaries of a policy choice, in administrative decision-making involving risk assessment. The substitution of decision-theoretic frameworks for default assumption-driven policies also allows stakeholder attitudes toward risk to be incorporated into policy debates, so that the public and risk managers can more explicitly identify the roles of risk-aversion or other attitudes toward risk and uncertainty in policy recommendations. Decision theory provides a sound scientific way explicitly to account for new knowledge and its effects on eventual policy choices. Although these improvements can complicate regulatory analyses, simplifying default assumptions can create substantial costs to society and can prematurely cut off consideration of new scientific insights (e.g., possible beneficial health effects from exposure to sufficiently low 'hormetic' doses of some agents). In many cases, the administrative burden of applying decision-analytic methods is likely to be more than offset by improved effectiveness of regulations in achieving desired goals. Because many foreign jurisdictions adopt US EPA reasoning and methods of risk analysis, it may be especially valuable to incorporate decision-theoretic principles that transcend local differences among jurisdictions.

TRANSPARÊNCIA PÚBLICA E PARLAMENTO ELETRÔNICO: A reforma do Poder Judiciário no portal do Senado Federal 2000-2004

A Constituição de 1988 e leis subsequentes determinam que o Estado preste informações aos cidadãos e favoreça a sua participação nas questões públicas trata-se do princípio legal da Transparência Administrativa, que compreende os seguintes subprincípios: (1) Informação; (2) Motivação e, o mais importante, (3) Participação e interatividade cidadãs. O alto investimento na Comunicação Estatal e os avanços tecnológicos, por si sós, não garantem a prática da transparência pública ou da democratização da informação. Sob uma perspectiva multidisciplinar, esta pesquisa discutiu o princípio legal de Transparência Administrativa, comparativamente à Teoria da Comunicação, com o objetivo de propor um conceito de Comunicação Estatal que, de fato, corresponda aos ideais e à ética necessários à Comunicação Pública. Para o desenvolvimento deste estudo foi investigada a relação da comunicação com o grau de transparência alcançado no portal do Senado Federal. O estudo analisou a tramitação da reforma do Poder Judiciário no período de 2000 a 2004, tendo em vista os três subprincípios legais da Transparência Pública. A análise contemplou, no portal do Senado, o trabalho jornalístico e a disponibilização on-line de textos digitais referentes a documentos originais, tais como atas públicas e notas taquigráficas. A metodologia, de enfoques quantitativo e qualitativo, teve como instrumento principal a Nova Retórica, para análise de matérias jornalísticas e textos documentais. Para averiguação da interatividade conceito que fundamenta o ideal de justiça , foram estabelecidos critérios analíticos a partir da intersecção entre os conceitos de transparência e E-parliaments. Constatou-se que o portal do Senado, no referente à reforma da Justiça, alcançou graus de transparência, atendendo mais aos subprincípios da informação e da motivação em detrimento aos da participação e interatividade cidadãs.(AU)

Patients and doctors working together in partnership:Birch v UCL Hospital NHS Foundation Trust [2008] EWHC 2237 (QB)

Of the myriad of pressing topics current in medical law and ethics, the issue of informed consent appears to be the ‘plainer sibling’. The decision by Cranston J in Birch v UCL Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in 2008 has brought into sharp relief that which many commentators already held to be true. Far from being the ‘plainer sibling’ when weighed against other prominent issues in medical law and ethics, the doctrine of informed consent, is one of the most significant principles to emerge in recent years.
