dc.description.abstractThis is a revised version of the opening address delivered by Sir Robin at the 1993 Australian Law Teachers’ Association Annual Conference in Christchurch in September 1993. Sir Robin begins by discussing his previous address to the Association on the topic of fairness in grey area cases, then comments on the topics of several upcoming Conference speeches. He discusses philosophical issues arising when determining appropriate sentences for child abuse and incest. He then stresses the importance of focusing on the substance of obligations, giving the example of breaches of confidence. He also considers constitutional developments in New Zealand and Australia, in light of the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 and recent cases of the High Court of Australia. He concludes with a brief obituary for Walter Tarnopolsky, a judge of the Ontario Court of Appeal and a drafter of the Canadian Charter. Abstract written by Tim Cochrane.en_US
