Editor's Notes

  1. The criteria for reportability are well recognised[1] and applied. They include: (i) a case which introduces a new principle or new rule of law; (ii) a case which materially modifies an existing principle of law or settles a doubtful question of law; (iii) a case which applies an existing principle in a novel area; (iv) a case in which the language of legislation is definitively interpreted; (v) a case in which clauses, phrases or words in common use in documents (eg, wills, contracts, insurance policies, charter parties) are construed; (vi) a case in which the rules of practice of the court are interpreted and their application extended, modified or applied to obscure or unsettled points; (vii) all cases which for any reason are peculiarly instructive.
