The wrongly attributed common law notion of terra nullius to the lands of which the British Crown took possession has been the source of disadvantage to Aboriginal communities which has outlived its reversal in Mabo v Queensland <\/em>(No 2). This article examines the early beginnings, and traces the history of, Aboriginal interaction with the common law through to the 21st Century in case law and legislation, with a focus on Aboriginal identity and sovereignty. The topic is huge and it was necessary to be selective. I trust, however, that the issues I have chosen will make a contribution to a fuller understanding of our history.<\/p>\n Click here to access this article on New Westlaw<\/a><\/p>\n The Rise of the Anti-arbitration injunction<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00c2\u00a0\u00e2\u20ac\u201c Justice AS Bell<\/p>\n Click here to access this article on New Westlaw<\/a><\/p>\n The Requirement of Property or Possessory Rights for Relief against Forfeiture<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00c2\u00a0\u00e2\u20ac\u201c Fabian Di Lizia<\/p>\n There are broadly two \u00e2\u20ac\u0153heads\u00e2\u20ac\u009d of jurisdiction for relief against forfeiture in the modern context: where there is fraud, accident, mistake or surprise; or where the object of the relevant transaction is to secure a stated result. In respect of the latter, although not definitively resolved in Australia, the courts in England hold that the forfeited right must be sufficiently \u00e2\u20ac\u0153proprietary\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or \u00e2\u20ac\u0153possessory\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and not \u00e2\u20ac\u0153merely contractual\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. It is argued that this approach should not be adopted in Australia. Such an approach is not required to uphold the underlying rationale of relief against forfeiture to mitigate against the unconscientious exercise of contractual power. It is unclear why the courts of equity should protect property rights above others. It also leads to courts engaging in confusing debates about what is sufficiently \u00e2\u20ac\u0153proprietary\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or \u00e2\u20ac\u0153possessory\u00e2\u20ac\u009d to enliven the jurisdiction to grant relief.<\/p>\n Click here to access this article on New Westlaw<\/a><\/p>\n For the PDF\u00c2\u00a0version of the table of contents, click here: Westlaw AU \u00e2\u20ac\u201c ALJ Vol 95 No 8 Contents<\/a> or here: New Westlaw AU \u00e2\u20ac\u201c ALJ Vol 95 No 8 Contents<\/a>.<\/p>\n Click here to access this Part on Westlaw AU<\/a><\/p>\n Click here to access this Part on New Westlaw AU<\/a><\/p>\n\n
