A (very) belated Merry Christmas and happy New Year to those of you who follow this blog.
If 2014 was a busy year, 2015 does not look like slowing down at all.
So first, let me offer my apologies for not posting any presentations recently. However, there have been some interesting cases around unfair dismissals for safety breaches and a recent case demonstrating that a principal can rely on a contractor’s expertise in the delivery of services (BlueScope Steel Ltd v Cartwright [2015] NSWCA 25), and I will be posting video presentations around these cases in the next fortnight.
I also wanted to let people know that I will be presenting a keynote speech at the Australasian Oil & Gas conference in Perth on 11 March looking at the issue of contractor safety Management (click here for details). You can find an article about the presentation here.
I will be around for the entire conference and if anybody is interested in catching up for a coffee, a drink or a conversation (or a combination of the above) you will find me at the Lawstream exhibition (click here for details).
Best regards.
Greg Smith.
