This presentation touches on four aspects of equitable principle. In the first and second (confidential information and liability for knowing assistance in a breach of trust) Australian and UK law have diverged; in the third and fourth (exceptions to Saunders v Vautier and judicial advice) they have converged. How did that come about?

A draft paper relating to this talk can be obtained in advance of the meeting by emailing Professor Häcker.

 

A sandwich lunch will be available from 12.30. The meeting will begin at 1pm.
