In 2009, the Federal Court was invested with jurisdiction to hear prosecutions for cartel offences under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 <\/em>(Cth). This article provides an overview of the Court\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s criminal jurisdiction. It includes a summary of cartel prosecutions heard to date and discusses the provisions which govern the Court\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s criminal practice and procedure. One issue which emerges concerns the appropriateness and utility of retaining state-based committal proceedings in prosecutions conducted in the Court. Committal proceedings are far from uniform throughout the states and territories and are in many respects outdated and productive of little more than cost and delay. The author\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s view is that, given the Court\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s extensive powers and case management regime, committal proceedings can and should be dispensed with in matters prosecuted in the Court.<\/p>\n Click here to access article on New Westlaw<\/a><\/p>\n Declaratory Orders for Breach of the ACL: Relevant Principles<\/strong><\/em><\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Adrian Coorey<\/p>\n There is no doubt that the Federal Court of Australia has wide discretionary powers to make declarations. The purpose of this article is to provide a brief discussion on the meaning of a declaration, the requisite elements of a declaration and the scope of the power to make a declaration under s 21 of the Federal Court of Australia Act 1976 <\/em>(Cth). The focus of the discussion is in reference to cases under the Australian Consumer Law, with the final section of the article providing a summary on the reasons for making and not making declarations.<\/p>\n Click here to access article on New Westlaw<\/a><\/p>\n ACCESS TO SERVICES<\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Editor: John Hedge<\/em><\/p>\n Click here to access on New Westlaw<\/a><\/p>\n TELECOMMUNICATIONS<\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Editor: Professor Niloufer Selvadurai<\/em><\/p>\n Click here to access on New Westlaw<\/a><\/p>\n CASE NOTES<\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Editor: Christopher Hodgekiss SC<\/em><\/p>\n Click here to access on New Westlaw<\/a><\/p>\n REPORT FROM ASIA<\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Editor: Andrew Christopher<\/em><\/p>\n Click here to access on New Westlaw<\/a><\/p>\n REPORT FROM NEW ZEALAND<\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Editor: Debra Wilson<\/em><\/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 – AJCCL Vol 30 No 1 Contents<\/a> or here: New Westlaw Australia – AJCCL Vol 30 No 1 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>\nArticles<\/h3>\n
