Atanaskovic Hartnell Corporate Services Pty Limited v Kelly [2024] FCAFC 137 (31 October 2024)
[55] Can it be said that the unattributed replication of Mrs Kelly’s submissions by the first primary Judge in the Liability Judgment, to such a significant degree, was such that it should be inferred that his Honour did not make an independent decision on the whole of the evidence and the law before the Court? I am satisfied that such an inference can, and should, be drawn.
R v Robertson; R v Westwood - NSW Caselaw
[22] In New South Wales, there is another stream of litigation. I understand there has been considerable evidence heard before a Local Court on a committal hearing as to how the prosecuting authorities managed to effectively “crack” the system and obtain the information. I am told that there are significant expert issues between competing experts and that the factual underpinning of any challenge to evidence from ANOM in New South Wales will be based on that evidence, which is different to the evidence that was before the Courts in South Australia. What this means is the outcome of the South Australian litigation in the High Court may well not be determinative of the admissibility of ANOM evidence in NSW or indeed anywhere.
