The cost of litigation, the backlog of cases before the courts, the unpredictability of judgements --- all suggests that justice is usually the preserve of people with infinite time and patience and very deep pockets. But is this always true? Can it be changed? And what does our legal system tell us about ourselves? Is justice merely coincidental?
Drawing on many of his own cases as a barrister, Michael Sexton gives a provocative and thoughtful account of some of the ways in which the law both mirrors and affects Australian society in this law book.
Uncertain Justice: Inside Australia's Legal System goes behind the scenes of Australia's legal system to show not only how it works but how it could work better.
Some of the significant matters discussed are:
- The Mr Bubbles Saga.
- Kerry Packer's Legal Fire Power.
- Geoffrey Edelsten's Medical Misadventures.
- The LIfe and Times of Alan Bond.
- The Westpac Letters Litigation.
- John Elliott's War with the National Crime Authority.
- The Chelmsford Royal Commision into Deep Sleep Treatment.
