a) is compeltely wrong
b) wont change it because thats not under the constitution
c) asking for public submissions on the dispute wont solve it in relation to the 'legal system'... its just an exercise of free speech
d) similar thing to Mabo i think so yes it is D

I think C b'coz when ever there is a controversial law, it is up to the Law Reform Commission to review the law (and if it's about H.R. it involves everyone), and the law reform commission base their decisions about a good law on whether society feels justice is served.......maybe?

Why not? They take surveys don't they? Same kinda thing I reckon....

Yup, but if the law sucked and ppl were unhappy with it, the gov't would wanna know what to do to make it better right? No point in applying a law that's causing contention, because you don't normally have ppl disputing over a law that hasn't already been applied, I mean, how would ppl no about it to dispute about it otherwise?

I think I'm either beginning to make sense or just confusing myself more.....:confused:

The cashier breached the contract with the consumer, entitling the consumer to damages, and the manufacturer breached the contract with the cashier, entitling the cashier to damages. Ultimately, the consumer is compensated from the manufacturer's pocket, but it doesn't happen directly.

It can be distinguished from Donoghue v Stevenson because, in that case, Mrs Donoghue was not the purchaser of the product and so was not privy to the contract between retailer and consumer, thereby preventing her from suing in contract law.

c. By a law reform commission inviting public submissions on the dispute
d.By the courts applying domestic and international law
I originally thought C, but I now think D.

a) Clearly incorrect.
b) Whilst amending the Constitution might have been correct, I don't think becoming a republic has anything to do with it.
c) Inviting public submissions seems to be a nice way to "resolve a dispute" on human rights. But I don't think it's actually part of the legal system - more of an adjunct to it.
d) There are a number of cases which support this approach (e.g. Mabo, Tampa).

What aspect of it do you disagree with? :) Explain. I could be wrong; I never did legal studies heh. Perhaps I'm being too pedantic.
