25.01.2022 POSTPONED - Due to the current COVID-19 situation, this event is being postponed. Lipman Karas remains a supporter of the event and we hope that the Flinders University can reschedule the lecture, later in the year. *********************** Lipman Karas is proud to be a sponsor of the Flinders University Law School to present Flinders Law: Beyond Regulating AI in the EU - The Intersection of Law and Technology Seminar. In this seminar, you will hear from Dr Jan De Bruyne, a... senior researcher at the Flemish Knowledge Centre Data & Society in the Netherlands, discussing the legal and ethical challenges of artificial intelligence (AI) as one of the hotly debated legal topics in the European Union (EU) and several of its Member States. Some argue that the law will need a fundamental make-over to deal with the reality of AI. Are existing legal principles compatible with such technological innovation or is a new approach required? Come and explore the answers to those questions as Jan shares his research and analysis of damage caused by AI systems such as autonomous vehicles. https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/flinders-law-beyond-regulat

24.01.2022 Lipman Karas' Special Counsel, Lucas Arnold, writes about Litigation Funding in England and Wales - Funder's Control and Champerty. In 2016, the Court of Appeal in Excalibur Ventures LLC v Texas Keystone Inc[2016] EWCA Civ 1144 (Excalibur) said: litigation funding is an accepted and judicially sanctioned activity perceived to be in the public interest. Despite litigation funding now being an established part of civil litigation in England, claimants, their advisers and funders may still be concerned that a defendant will either challenge the funding arrangements as champertous or seek access to the funding agreement. Satellite litigation in relation to funding arrangements is not uncommon. https://www.lipmankaras.com//litigation-funding-in-englan/

24.01.2022 Lipman Karas' Special Counsel, Harley Schumann and Associate, Franklin Koo write on An Office Fit for a King - Shadow and de Facto Directors in Australia. The High Court of Australia has unanimously overruled a decision of the Queensland Court of Appeal that imposed a restricted definition of ‘officer’ in section 9(b)(ii) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Act). The effect of the decision was that a person could only satisfy the definition of officer if they had been fo...rmally appointed to a position in the company. The High Court’s decision ensures that an individual with significant influence over the affairs of a company, such that they are a ‘de facto’ or ‘shadow’ director, cannot avoid liability as an officer on the arbitrary basis that they were not formally appointed to a position in the company. https://www.lipmankaras.com//an-office-fit-for-a-king-sha/

21.01.2022 Emily Gillett and Lucas Arnold write about Forcing Asset Disclosure: When Even Committal Proceedings are Not Enough. In Lakatamia Shipping Company Ltd v Su [2020] EWHC 865 (Comm), the English Commercial Court has recently supplemented the arsenal of the claimant against a defendant who refuses to produce asset disclosure. It did so by granting an order that required the judgment debtor, Mr Su, to direct his social media and email providers to grant access to those accounts to an independent lawyer, appointed by the Court, to review and give discovery of non-privileged documents to the judgment creditor, Lakatamia. The availability of such an order offers claimants another route to obtaining disclosure of a defendant's assets when other routes have failed. https://www.lipmankaras.com//forcing-asset-disclosure-whe/

20.01.2022 Brooke Holden and Simon Collier write about the doctrine of penalties. In the past five years, the doctrine of penalties has come under significant scrutiny in the United Kingdom and Australia. In particular, the courts have expressly moved away from the traditional test in Dunlop Pneumatic Tyre Co Ltd v New Garage & Motor Co Ltd [1915] AC 79, which was focused significantly on the need to assess whether the sum payable under the impugned clause is a genuine pre-estimate of ...loss. In 127 Hobson Street Limited v Honey Bees Preschool Limited [2020] NZSC 53 (Honey Bees), the New Zealand Supreme Court (NZSC) has done likewise reinforcing that a clause will be upheld if it protects broader legitimate interests, which is not limited to a pre-estimate of the loss which would be recoverable in damages.

19.01.2022 For the past three years Lipman Karas has been a Principal Partner with Sanaa : A better world through creativity, a bold and collaborative South Australian arts festival, promoting the power of art and creativity and its capacity to bridge cultural gaps. In 2019, together with Victoria Lewis, we conceived the idea of an artist in residency program to extend the Sanaa Festival's reach and promote a talented African artist. The.Wamala Art was chosen from a shortlist of fou...r, from over 70 applications received from across Africa, for the inaugural residency program. Dr Lisa Slade, Art Gallery of South Australia made the final selection. Unfortunately, like a lot of other things, the residency was impacted by COVID-19 with Wamala making a hasty return to Uganda before the government lockdowns came into place. Wamala was however able to complete most of his works and together with Sanaa and Nexus Arts Gallery, his exhibition is now a virtual exhibition and available for all to view. We encourage you to take a look and see some of his spectacular works in I AM BECAUSE YOU ARE illustrations of existence. https://www.nexusartsgallery.com/i-am-because-you-are/

The Ontario Court of Appeal has considered the application of the corporate attribution doctrine and the illegality defence of ex turpi causa in Caja Paraguaya de Jubilaciones y Pensiones del Personal de Itaipu Binacional v Garcia, 2020 ONCA 124. The case involved a massive fraud against a pension fund which was facilitated by the funds’ own corporate officers. The Court of Appeal upheld the first instance decision that the defendants were liable, finding that the wrongdoing of the corporate officers was not attributable to the fund so as to bar recovery. https://www.lipmankaras.com//corporate-attribution-and-th/

14.01.2022 Jordan Moulds' recent blog post says the road to profit is not always paved with good intentions. In a recent decision, the English High Court has found the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) (now Natwest Markets), together with one of its subsidiaries (RBS SEEL), liable for dishonest assistance and fraudulent trading. The Defendants were found to have played a pivotal role, through two of their traders, in an elaborate VAT fraud perpetrated by the directors of Bilta (UK) Limited and nine other companies: Bilta v Natwest Plc & Anor [2020] EWHC 546 (Ch). The decision provides useful guidance for fraudulent trading and dishonest assistance claims against professional third parties arising out of complex commercial contexts. https://www.lipmankaras.com//the-road-to-profit-is-not-al/

13.01.2022 Mark Giddings and Libbee Coulter write on the Enforcement of Chinese Monetary Judgments by Australian Courts. In a world where business is conducted internationally and law firms operate within a global market, the resolution of commercial disputes often requires steps in more than one jurisdiction. One facet of this is the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments by Australian courts. In a number of recent decisions, Australian courts have considered the requisite approach to enforcing judgments obtained in the People’s Republic of China (China). As well as stating the applicable legal principles, these decisions have considered specific issues that arise with respect to Chinese laws and procedures. https://www.lipmankaras.com//the-enforcement-of-chinese-m/

12.01.2022 Lipman Karas' Special Counsel, Harley Schumann and Associate, Franklin Koo write an update as Hong Kong Companies Court Judge calls for restructuring powers "immediately". Although Hong Kong Courts lack the power to appoint provisional liquidators solely to facilitate restructuring and corporate rescue (so called "soft touch liquidators"), recent cases have held that this does not prevent the court from recognising and assisting foreign liquidators appointed for this purpose abroad. In this case the Companies Judge, Harris J, granted recognition and assistance to soft touch liquidators appointed in Cayman, and took the occasion to make an emphatic call for urgent legislation that would allow Hong Kong Courts to do the same thing domestically. https://www.lipmankaras.com//hong-kong-companies-court-ju/

10.01.2022 Lipman Karas is proud to be the National Sponsor of QUILTY, now open at the Art Gallery of South Australia. QUILTY, is the first major survey exhibition of one of Australia’s most acclaimed contemporary artists, Ben Quilty. The Exhibition was officially opened in Adelaide on Friday, 1 March at the Art Gallery of South Australia by the Premier of South Australia, The Hon. Steven Marshall MP with Australian hip hop group, The Herd, kicking off proceedings with a concert on th...e Gallery’s forecourt. Developed by the Art Gallery of South Australia and curated by Assistant Director, Artistic Programs, Dr Lisa Slade, QUILTY is open in Adelaide from 2 March to 2 June 2019 before a year of touring to the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art and the Art Gallery of New South Wales. Lisa Slade says ‘The exhibition presents a portrait of a socially engaged contemporary artist who is committed to art’s capacity to instigate change. Quilty’s subjects are never objectified, but always rendered through the lens of personal experience. ‘For most of this century Quilty has been delivering urgent visions of our time in history. An unlikely activist, he wields paint to draw our attention to our responsibility as critical citizens in an increasingly fraught world.’ In the words of art critic John McDonald, ‘Quilty's radical humanism has lured him outside the sedate spaces of the art gallery into war zones, refugee camps, and the Bali prison where Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan were executed. Not many of us would willingly undertake such journeys, which reveal Quilty's compassion for the victim, and his determination to use his skills (and an increasingly high profile) to make a difference.’ Artist Ben Quilty says ‘My work is about working out how to live in this world, it’s about compassion and empathy but also anger and resistance. Through it I hope to push compassion to the front of national debate.’ Jason Karas, Co-founder, Lipman Karas and National Sponsor of QUILTY, says ‘We have great pleasure in supporting the AGSA to bring this body of extraordinary work by Ben Quilty to its largest audience to date. Not only rich in texture and powerful in its physical presence, this exhibition demonstrates the brave evolution of Ben’s work, which traverses our public history and personal experiences. Quilty challenges the viewer and offers a deep source of creative inspiration, well beyond the usual sphere of contemporary art.’ Kerr Neilson, Founder, Neilson Foundation and Principal Donor, Quilty says ‘We share Ben Quilty’s contemplative vision. One asks whether there is an indignant drift towards protectiveness at this time in our history and a shift away from openness. Ben Quilty dares us to ask these questions and engage with our world.’

09.01.2022 On Saturday 28 September, Lipman Karas attended an exciting exhibition match where the Kaurna Boomerangs played an Ice Factor Alumni team. Before the start of the game, LK was thrilled to be presented with a LK personalised team guernsey. The game was very competitive and the Boomerangs certainly looked sharp on the ice.... This was an important part of the team’s preparations for their trip to Canada in January to play a First Nations team. Many thanks to Marie, Sami, Justine and Brittany for organising this great event and for hosting us in the VIP room. Lipman Karas is proud to continue their support of the Kaurna Boomerangs on their journey to Canada.

08.01.2022 Emily Gillett, Simon Collier and Tim Bost write on "Where's the Trust in a Cryptocurrency Exchange?" On 14 January 2019, the New Zealand cryptocurrency exchange Cryptopia was hacked and approximately NZD$30 million was stolen. By the end of May 2019, Cryptopia had been placed into liquidation. The liquidators were tasked with determining who had an interest in the remaining cryptocurrencies and what the nature of their interests were. Earlier this year, in Ruscoe v Cryptopia ...[2020] NZHC 728, the New Zealand High Court held that cryptocurrency was a species of property and, that in the circumstances, the cryptocurrencies were held on trust for the accountholders.

05.01.2022 Emily Gillett and James Hayton write about High Jinx in Arbitration. In the recent case of Hai Jing 1401 Pte v Singapore Technologies Marine Ltd [2020] SGHC 20, the High Court of Singapore decided that where a defendant to a claim under a contract denies it is party to that contract, it may nevertheless enforce an arbitration agreement applicable to that contract if the claim otherwise falls within its scope. In this way, the arbitration agreement can effectively be enforced by the non-party through an anti suit injunction. https://www.lipmankaras.com/2020//high-jinx-in-arbitration/

04.01.2022 Sylvia Tee and Andy Lau write about the recent ICC International Court of Arbitration webinar attended by more than 100 participants, on the effective case management of virtual hearings, a pertinent issue facing parties and tribunals at the moment. Held on 18 June 2020, the session featured speakers from four different continents moderator Julia Dreosti (Lipman Karas, Adelaide), and panellists Mirèze Philippe (ICC International Court of Arbitration, Paris), Prof. Dr. Moha...med Abdel Wahab (Zulficar & Partners, Cairo) and Kap-You (Kevin) KIM (Peter & Kim, Seoul). In her opening remarks, Julia Dreosti observed how attitudes towards arbitration prior to the pandemic appeared to centre around the old adage of ‘if it ain’t broke’, don’t fix it’. However, Covid-19 has been a catalyst for arbitration practitioners to embrace new and innovative technology to achieve, amongst other things, a speedy and efficient resolution of disputes.

01.01.2022 Lipman Karas Principal, Kristy Zander and Associate, Katie Walsh write about the changes to the regulation of litigation funding in Australia. Amid a reported increase in the number of class actions over the past decade, the Australian Government has announced changes to the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth) to facilitate greater regulatory oversight of litigation funders operating in Australia. The changes, set to come into operation on 22 August 2020, will require funders... of class action litigation to hold an Australian Financial Services Licence (‘AFSL’). After some initial confusion following the announcement, the Government has now provided welcome clarity that the changes are confined to class action litigation funders, and do not affect funders of insolvency litigation or single plaintiff claims.
