Disability and the Queensland Criminal Justice System (Book)

This practical handbook navigates the legal complexities in representing people suffering from a mental illness, intellectual disability or acquired brain injury who have been charged with a criminal offence in Queensland. Drawing on Dan Toombs' experience, including through establishment of Australia's first criminal law service for disabled people, it provides both analysis and practical guidance in a critical area of legal practice.

Disability and the Queensland Criminal Justice System addresses the fundamental rights of those with disability engaging with Queensland criminal law. Addressing the intersection of criminal law and mental disability is important because the consequences for individuals can be severe even where offences are minor. Significantly, being categorised as having a relevant disability leads to offenders being dealt with by a court with substantial powers.

Lawyers who come into contact with affected individuals in this context will be better equipped to understand, promote, defend and protect those rights through their advice and advocacy. Case workers, medical practitioners and those supporting disabled people facing the criminal justice system will gain insight into rights and obligations under the Mental Health Act 2000 (Qld).

The powerful combination of the author's experience and support from The Advocacy and Support Centre Inc (TASC) results in a handbook that can help change people's lives.

Contents � Introduction � What is a relevant disability � Disability and the Queensland criminal justice system � Sources of disability law � Queensland mental health legislation � Considerations for representing a person who may have a disability � Fitness to plead � The defence of unsoundness of mind � The Mental Health Court � Intellectual disability and the Mental Health Court � Sentencing � Appeals against Mental Health Court decisions � Case studies

Homicide � The Laws of Australia is a portable yet comprehensive reference which provides a multi-jurisdictional, principles-based approach to the law relating to homicide.

This new work, authored by Professor Paul Fairall, will be based on content currently published in Subtitle 10.1 "Homicide" of The Laws of Australia encyclopaedia, and will cover the following topics:
� General Principles
� Homicide � Conduct Elements
� Murder � Mental Element
� Constructive Murder
� Partial Defences to Murder
� Manslaughter
� Procedural Matters and Punishment

One of the greatest strengths of this book will be its comprehensive and multi-jurisdictional coverage, clearly addressing the extent to which the laws of the different States and Territories differ, such as intoxication, diminished responsibility and provocation. Additionally, the propositional style of The Laws of Australia provides a format which is easy to browse, and the explanation and analysis of core principles is supported by extensive footnoting to further aid research.

2012 XYZ MODEL FINANCIAL ACCOUNTS - AUTHORED BY MOORE STEPHENS

2012 XYZ MODEL FINANCIAL ACCOUNTS WORKBOOK

In preparation for the upcoming financial reporting season, knowing how to apply accounting standards before year end is increasingly important and essential to ensure a smooth year end and audit process.

The 2012 XYZ Model Financial Accounts Workbook provides practical guidance in applying the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards. This Workbook can be used in conjunction with the 2012 XYZ Model Financial Accounts product suite as a reference guide in understanding how to apply the measurement and recognition requirements for common accounting scenarios.

The Workbook identifies key issues arising from Australian Accounting Standards in a simplified and easy-to-use manner. It covers the issues and background to specific topics and provides practical examples with journal entries, calculations and disclosure extracts. The requirements are often summarised in easy-to-use point form, tables, flow-charts and diagrams.

The following new chapters have been added to the 2012 XYZ Model Financial Accounts Workbook:

Distinction between current and non-current liabilities where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for 12 months.
Derecognition of financial liabilities, particularly in the case of substantial modification of terms or exchange of loans.
Settlement of financial liabilities by issuing equity instruments.
Group share-based payments schemes with an inter-company recharge arrangement.

Comprehensive diagrams for the purpose of identifying the related party relationships of a particular reporting entity and an easy-to-use diagram for the purpose of determining cash-settled or equity-settled share based payment transactions in group situations, are some of the new additions to the 2012 XYZ Model Financial Accounts Workbook.

The Workbook also considers recent developments in financial reporting and amendments to Australian Accounting Standards that are not yet effective such as AASB 9: Financial Instruments.

The 2012 XYZ Model Financial Accounts Workbook will be available in March 2012. Pre-order your copy now!

The Good, the Bad & the Ugly of the Australian Accounting Profession Benchmark Survey is Australia's leading industry benchmarking survey of the accounting profession, which seeks to gather information on key aspects of accounting firm efficiency and profitability. It is used by accounting firms to identify the ways in which they can increase efficiency and improve performance, including through the use of high quality knowledge, document and workflow management systems.

In 2011, a new year-long Good Bad Ugly program has been established. In addition to the main report released in October, there will be an additional eight supplementary reports published monthly from November 2011 to June 2012. You are able to purchase simply the main report or an annual subscription which also includes the eight supplementary reports.

The February supplement - "How to improve your firm's productivity, write offs and average hourly rate" is now available to order. This report is intended to provide practical tips for improving the performance of any accounting firm across each of these three key performance indicators (and, in doing so, position the firm well to weather any obstacles thrown at it by the changing state of the accounting industry). It is not intended to be a comprehensive commentary or analysis on the �ins and outs' of each of these key performance indicators � just a set of short, commonsense and easily implemented actions for quick improvement results. At only $75, this supplement provides a practical �how to' guide to improving the performance of any accounting practice.

Thomson Reuters Tax Q&A is an online service providing model answers to income tax, GST, FBT and superannuation client tax issues. These model answers are based on questions sourced by our team of experienced tax writers and submitted by readers.

Unlike commentary services, Thomson Reuters Tax Q&A is issues-based, using actual scenarios confronted in practice to assist tax professionals, accountants and financial planners to understand new and existing tax laws. Answers may address aspects of law not considered by ATO, but a lot of Q & A's are based on, or are supported by, ATO IDs.

The service also focuses on hot topics that alert readers to practical pitfalls (client risks) and opportunities associated with new tax developments (cases, rulings, legislation). Content is arranged in an easy to read "facts and solution" style for fast reference.

Subscribers have an opportunity to submit their own questions to Thomson's team of expert tax writers. Questions received usually receive a response within 3 business days. There may be exceptions to this rule depending on the question's complexity and during certain busy periods in the year. All questions should be forwarded by email and responses will be conveyed via same method.

New questions and answers are regularly added and existing entries checked for currency.

Voluntary administration has played a dominant role in corporate insolvency law and practice since its inception in 1992. Its effectiveness quickly established it as the most common form of insolvency administration for companies, and it now accounts for around one third of all administrations.

Leading insolvency expert, Dr James O'Donovan addresses the law and practice on privately appointed receivers and managers in this book, offering detailed commentary on the complex areas of Voluntary Administration and Deeds of Company Arrangements. The analysis is drawn from his updating subscription work, Company Receivers and Administrators, the standard insolvency reference in this complex area. The service and handbook are ideal companion works, with the book offering a convenient and accessible resource for every day use, whether in court or at meetings of directors or creditors. Its clear explanation of complex issues is suitable for insolvency practitioners, lawyers, accountants and students. Consistent paragraph numbering means that readers are able to use the book in conjunction with the subscription edition which will keep up-to-date with case law and legislation changes.

Professor James O'Donovan, who is Special Counsel at Lavan Legal, a Perth-based law firm, is also an established Thomson Reuters author. He is a Professor of Law at the University of Western Australia, a Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Western Australia, Victoria and South Australia and a Solicitor of the Supreme Courts of Queensland and New South Wales.

Understanding Company Law, 16th Edition is a leading text on Australian company law. Its logical structure and accessible approach make it ideal for business law students of company law and its depth of analysis and coverage make it just as highly suitable for undergraduate law students undertaking a corporations law unit.

The 16th edition incorporates a number of significant recent amendments to legislation and case law. These include:

Personal Property Securities (Corporations and Other Amendments) Act 2011, which incorporates into the Corporations Act the reforms introduced by the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (PPS Act). The PPS Act replaced the previous law which regulated personal property securities on the basis of the legal form of the transaction and its terminology and concepts have been included into the Corporations Act.
Corporations Amendment (Financial Market Supervision) Act 2010, which came into operation in August 2010 and transferred supervisory responsibility for Australian licensed financial markets from the ASX to ASIC. ASIC now has the power to make and enforce "market integrity rules" and is responsible for the supervision of financial markets and enforcement of laws dealing with misconduct by market participants.
Corporations Amendment (Corporate Reporting Reform) Act 2011, which aims to streamline Australia's corporate reporting framework and reduce unnecessary reporting compliance requirements.
Corporations Amendment (Sons of Gwalia) Act 2011, which overrules the High Court decision in Sons of Gwalia v Margaretic. This Act, among other things, provides that all claims in relation to dealing with shares are ranked equally and after all other creditors' claims.
Corporations Amendment (Improving Accountability on Director and Executive Remuneration) Act 2011, which strengthens Australia's remuneration framework by implementing a number of recommendations made by the Productivity Commission's 2010 report.

This edition also includes a number of important cases, the most significant of which are Morley v ASIC and ASIC v Healey, dealing with directors' duty of care.

Understanding Company Law, 16th Edition contains insightful explanations of the many issues students will have to address in this complex and often convoluted area of law, in a way that will enlighten and enliven their study of company and corporations law in Australia.

The International Context of Intellectual Property � examining the international dimensions of international property rights and their impact on the Australian domestic regime

Trade Secrets and Privacy provides essential guidance through the entire spectrum of the law regarding personal, institutional and corporate privacy, helping you better protect commercially sensitive, and private and personal information.

Constantly emerging technology offers opportunities and risks for businesses and individuals. In this complex and dynamic arena, Trade Secrets and Privacy provides solicitors, barristers, government and in-house lawyers with a thorough understanding of the underlying principles of two linked and rapidly evolving areas of law. Where the legal framework can be comparatively slow to provide specific responses to digital developments, a clear grasp of legal principles and practice equips you to make informed decisions in developing strategies for safeguarding and defending against breaches of confidence.

This major new work provides comprehensive coverage of breach of confidence, privacy and data protection. Authored by Robert Dean and Gordon Hughes with Blake Dawson, Trade Secrets and Privacy is built upon Robert Dean's seminal and highly regarded work on trade secrets. The work's updated analysis, based on extensive practice experience, will assist lawyers to advise in a complicated area subject to change.

Essential guidance improves protection

Draft and use restraint of trade clauses in employment contract more effectively to protect employers' trade secrets, knowhow and good will
Understand and use the network of protection provided by breach of confidence, contract, torts, and legislation for confidential information and commercial secrets
Navigate rights and liabilities across a wide range of commercial relationships and situations
Use all means available to protect personal private information and a person's privacy, based on the principles of breach of confidence, torts and legislation (including workplace surveillance across the States and telecommunications interception legislation)
Understand difficult areas important in practice, like privacy and the internet (social networking, emails etc), the media, and government generated information, including rights and liabilities with respect to compulsory acquired information
Understand the international context, increasingly important as national barriers are challenged by technology and business.

Practical tools offer support

Quick reference guides at the start of each tab card overview the applicable principles and law
Progressively annotated privacy legislation includes annotated Australian Privacy Principles, with "law in force functionality" and case law references - legislation connected to FirstPoint and Thomson Reuters law reports [subject to separate subscription].
Precedents for Anton Pillar orders, statements of claim, confidentiality agreements, restraint of trade agreements and discovery orders drafted to protect confidential information
Case finding tables organised by subject matter for quick and easy reference set out all major Anton Pillar cases (including cases concerning the misuse of commercial secret information) and all cases concerning personal privacy.

Quickly and thoroughly prepare for sentencing pleas and appeals with this new Thomson Reuters service available in online and looseleaf (1 volume) formats.

Practical insights: Australian Sentencing provides practical offence- and principle-based- guidance on considerations that impact on sentence. It addresses themes and issues applicable across Australia while fully addressing jurisdiction specifics.

Throughout the service, Mirko Bagaric and Richard Edney apply both their criminal law practice experience and their analytical skills to assisting practitioners in this complex area where the intricate interplay of factors has significant outcomes.

Organised to help your work: Easily located and well structured commentary will be equally useful whether you're advising a client, appearing for the defence or prosecution at a sentencing hearing, or running a trial. Start with the specific offence in issue, and see what factors are particularly important for that offence; also check the applicable sentencing tariff. Turn to the particular aggravating and mitigating factors and find detailed guidance on how these are considered by the courts. Consult the practical review of the objectives of sentencing to take into how these too affect sentencing outcomes in particular cases.

The Australia-wide approach, with state-specific coverage is particularly timely as courts around the country are recognising the benefit of consistency in sentencing, albeit with care for their jurisdiction's jurisprudence. Now too the High Court is a significant influence toward consistency in sentencing practice, seeking consistency in the application of the relevant legal principles. Supporting these trends, Australian Sentencing assists practitioners remain current with the detail and significance of the huge volume of court of appeal sentencing decisions - from their own courts and from around the country.

Complementing the detail of sentencing law, an early chapter addresses the procedural and evidential matters of a sentencing hearing while current core sentencing legislation from around Australia is included for ease of subscriber reference.

With Australian Sentencing, you'll be well-placed to ensure you take everything essential into account in order to achieve the best outcomes in the circumstances.

This practical guide covers parental leave entitlements and procedures under the Fair Work Act 2009 and Paid Parental Leave Act 2010.

The relationships between these two pieces of federal legislation and the rights and obligations they create are complex. Increasingly, as employees take up the governmental paid scheme, employers and HR managers will have to deal with challenging issues such as employees maintaining contact with the workplace while on leave and rights to return to work. This is in addition to the �paymaster' function which became the responsibility of employers as of 1 July 2011.

Parental Leave: A User-Friendly Guide by Erin McCarthy, Elise Jenkin and Andrew Stewart of Piper Alderman follows the course of a parental leave application. Using a clear layout, bullet points and case studies, it brings together the issues that come up under different pieces of legislation to help IR/HR practitioners and union/ employer advisors meet the needs of clients and employees. Academics will also appreciate the analysis of parental leave and its development in the context of the Australian workplace relations system.

Contents: Sources of Parental Leave Entitlements; The Major Entitlements; Eligibility; How Parental Leave May Be Structured; Making and Dealing with Applications; Starting Parental Leave; Payment During Leave; Other Obligations During the Leave Period; Replacement Workers; Varying or Ending Parental Leave; Returning to Work; Key Points for Workers; Key Points for Employers.

" (A) serious... book which will sit close by for frequent reference...a detailed and analytical (consideration) of the new legislation..This is one of the most succint (yet) comprehensive and analytical books that I have had the pleasure of reviewing...a must have reference book, it will be regularly referred to as a guide to this emerging legislation."

- Law Society Journal of Tasmania, January 2012

This new and timely work provides up-to-date and detailed analysis of the new �Unfair Contract Terms Law' (UCTL) that was introduced as part of the Australian Consumer Law reforms of 2010, and which took effect in each state and territory from 1 January 2011.

The UCTL represents a radical change in consumer protection law and in contract law.

In Unfair Contract Terms in Australia experienced author and senior lecturer Dr Jeannie Paterson explains the operation of the UCTL and considers the implications for standard �boilerplate' terms in consumer contracts. The work also examines the background to the reforms and utilises precedents drawn from similar regimes that have operated in Victoria and the UK.

Unfair Contract Terms in Australia will be highly useful for litigation purposes and compliance work. It will appeal to competition, consumer and commercial solicitors and barristers as well as regulators involved in drafting, reviewing and enforcing standard form consumer contracts.

Traders dealing with consumers will find this work invaluable as they review their contracts to ensure compliance with the legislation.

Unfair Contract Terms in Australia is a vital resource for the adjustment to, and ongoing compliance with, the new law.

KEY FEATURES:

Why regulate Unfair Terms?
Comparing the regulatory regimes � the UK and Victorian precedents
Overview of the Australian Consumer Law and UCTL � the constitutional context, transitional arrangements for the UCTL and the approach to enforcement.
Contracts and terms excluded from review for fairness
