Where real evidence takes the form of an out of court experiment, it is contended that s 53(3)(c) of the uniform evidence legislation should be amended to include an expanded version of the Neilan test at common law. Where real evidence takes the form of an in court experiment, it is contended that s 53(4) of the uniform evidence legislation should be amended to allow the court to conduct an experiment. The underlying cause of these present restrictions on the use of real evidence is an apparent distrust by the legal profession of the jury\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s capacity to properly handle and assess real evidence.<\/p>\n Click here to access article on New Westlaw<\/a><\/p>\n Judicially Identified Limits on the Body Corporate By-Law Making Power \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Cooper V The Owners \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Strata Plan No 58068<\/em><\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c <\/strong>Cathy Sherry<\/p>\n Cooper v The Owners \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Strata Plan No 58068 is arguably the most significant decision to date for millions of Australians who live in strata schemes. While it is the first New South Wales superior court consideration of pet regulation, as well as the s 139(1) prohibition on by-laws that are \u00e2\u20ac\u0153harsh, unconscionable or oppressive\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, the decision goes much further. The Court held that owners corporations have no power to make any by-law that regulates activity that has no meaningful effect on other people. This article discusses that decision in the context of wider property and political debates, in Australia and other jurisdictions.<\/p>\n Click here to access article on New Westlaw<\/a><\/p>\n BOOK REVIEWS<\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Editor: Angelina Gomez <\/strong><\/p>\n Click here to access on New Westlaw<\/a><\/p>\n For the PDF version of the table of contents, click here: Westlaw AU \u00e2\u20ac\u201c ALJ Vol 96 No 2 Contents<\/a> or here: New Westlaw Australia \u00e2\u20ac\u201c ALJ Vol 96 No 2 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
