Media Report - NSW Chief Justice warns on costs

Posted on DateFebruary 3, 2009

From The Australian:

THE economic downturn is potentially so severe it could mark the end of an era in the law that "treated commercial values as of overriding significance", NSW Chief Justice Jim Spigelman said last night.

In an address to mark the opening of the 2009 law term, he challenged lawyers to cut their costs and charges to clients or risk being marginalised.

The Chief Justice, who began his day with the traditional Red Mass at St Mary's Cathedral, said the downturn was already having an effect on the flow of litigation.
