The Hon. Justice Debbie Mortimer, Federal Court of Australia

aspects of the judicial review process that lawyers need to focus on in preparing a case for hearing.
Peter Hanks QC, Victorian Bar
Mr Hanks will speak on two short case studies in judicial review: (1) a challenge to the licensing of commercial radio
broadcasting; and (2) a challenge to the Tax Office’s power to demand information from an Australian bank.
Emily Nance, Senior Executive Lawyer, Australian Government Solicitor
Ms Nance will speak on judicial review in the Federal Court: the ADJR Act and the Judiciary Act, s 39B; why use one or the
