The eruption on White Island in 2019 is one such example. The incident raises many interesting and overlapping conflict of law questions. This includes how courts should determine the place of the tort and the applicable substantive law; an examination of New Zealand\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s foreign compensation scheme and recently introduced choice of law legislation; and cognate issues regarding concurrent liability and workers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 compensation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/anzlaw.thomsonreuters.com\/Document\/I876e5955bbc911ed90309797adf99bcc\/View\/FullText.html?transitionType=Default&amp;contextData=(sc.Default)&amp;VR=3.0&amp;RS=cblt1.0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><strong>Lost in Translation: The Wrongful Conviction of Kathleen Folbigg Based on Fresh Medical Evidence and Expert Interpretation of Her Diaries<\/strong><\/em><\/a> <strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u201c<\/strong> Dr Fiona Hum and Dr Andrew Hemming<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This article argues that Kathleen Folbigg was wrongly convicted of suffocating her four children and should be immediately released from prison where she has been incarcerated since 2003. The basis for this contention is the fresh and compelling evidence that Ms Folbigg has the CALM2 mutation which she passed on to two of her four children and precipitated lethal cardiac arrests. The current medical and scientific expert opinion is that all four children died from natural causes. In addition, recent expert opinion from psychologists and linguists on Ms Folbigg\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s diaries, which the Crown argued amounted to virtual admissions of guilt, concluded that there was no evidence Ms Folbigg harmed her children and her purpose in writing the entries was to try and make sense of the deaths of her children.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/anzlaw.thomsonreuters.com\/Document\/I876e5959bbc911ed90309797adf99bcc\/View\/FullText.html?transitionType=Default&amp;contextData=(sc.Default)&amp;VR=3.0&amp;RS=cblt1.0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><strong>Defined Terms in Legislation: Mere Placeholders or Meaningful Labels? Revisiting the Principle from Shin Kobe Maru<\/strong><\/em><\/a> <strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u201c<\/strong> Nick Wray-Jones<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Australian courts have regularly questioned the High Court\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s judgment in <em>Owners of Ship Shin Kobe Maru v Empire Shipping Co Inc<\/em>, which prohibits using defined terms in legislation to interpret their definitions. The basis for this prohibition is that it would be \u00e2\u20ac\u0153circular\u00e2\u20ac\u009d to use defined terms to interpret definitions, as definitions give defined terms a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153special\u00e2\u20ac\u009d legislative meaning. Recently, the Queensland Court of Appeal has endorsed <em>Shin Kobe Maru <\/em>as a strict rule against this kind of circular reasoning, whereas the New South Wales Court of Appeal has suggested that the position may be more complex. This article analyses these competing decisions and suggests that <em>Shin Kobe Maru <\/em>is subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions, arising out of the importance of defined terms as a source of context. Rather than being \u00e2\u20ac\u0153mere placeholders\u00e2\u20ac\u009d for their definitions, defined terms in legislation can be \u00e2\u20ac\u0153meaningful labels\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/anzlaw.thomsonreuters.com\/Document\/I876e5954bbc911ed90309797adf99bcc\/View\/FullText.html?transitionType=Default&amp;contextData=(sc.Default)&amp;VR=3.0&amp;RS=cblt1.0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BOOK REVIEW<\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Editor: Angelina Gomez<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Dynamic and Principled: The Influence of Sir Anthony Mason<\/em>, edited by Barbara McDonald, Ben Chen and Jeffrey Gordon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For the PDF version of the table of contents, click here: <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.thomsonreuters.com.au\/journals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/New-Westlaw-Australia-\u00e2\u20ac\u201c-ALJ-Vol-97-No-3-Contents.pdf\">New Westlaw Australia \u00e2\u20ac\u201c ALJ Vol 97 No 3 Contents<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/3K7QRkZ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to access this Part on New Westlaw AU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For general queries, please contact: <a href=\"mailto:tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com\">tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Part of the Australian Law Journal includes the following articles: &#8220;White Island and Accidents in New Zealand: Issues in Private International Law&#8221; \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Michael Gvozdenovic; &#8220;Lost in Translation: The Wrongful Conviction of Kathleen Folbigg Based on Fresh Medical Evidence and Expert Interpretation of her Diaries&#8221; \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Dr Fiona Hum and Dr Andrew Hemming; &#8220;Defined Terms in Legislation: Mere Placeholders or Meaningful Labels?
