Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. • When will the acts of a partner bind their other
partners?
The Partnership Act
Section 7 states: *Refer sec 7
Partnership is a branch of agency law, one
significant difference with partnership law is that
partners are both principle and agent and
therefore there are two way fiduciary duties.
Partners owe each other fiduciary duties.
3. • Every partner is an agent to the firm and his
other partners for the purpose of the business
of the partnership, and the acts of every
partner who does any act for carrying on the
usual was business of the kind carried on by
the firm of which he is a member bind the
firm and his partners, unless the partner so
acting has in fact no authority to act for the
firm in the particular matter, and the person
with whom he is dealing either knows that he
has no authority or does not know or believe
him to be a partner.
4. • The basis of fiduciary relationships between
partners was explained by James LJ in Re
Agriculturist Insurance Co (Baird’s case)
(1870).
“As between the partners and the outside
world, (whatever may be their private
arrangements between themselves), each
partner is the unlimited agent of every other
in every matter connected with the
partnership business, and not being in its
nature beyond the scope of the partnership.”
5. • Partners may be bound to a party who is not a
partner in the following situations:
a) When the partners have authorised a
person, whether or not a partner, to enter into a
transaction on their behalf with the outsider.
In such cases the normal rules of agency apply
so that if the agent has acted in entering into a
transaction within his or her actual or
apparent authority, the partners will be bound
to the transaction;
6. b) When the partners have authorised one of
their partners to act on behalf of the
partnership with an outsider.
In these circumstances all the partners will be
bound by the authorised act of their fellow
partner/agent. It does not matter whether the
transaction was within the scope of the
partnership business or whether the outsider
was aware that the agent was a partner in the
business. The key to the partners being bound
in this situation is the fact that the transaction
was authorised by all the partners.
7. c) When one of the partners has acted, without
express authorization, in circumstances where
four requirements which are set out in section
7 of the PA have been satisfied. In this
situation the fact of being a partner confers
authority to bind the partnership. This will be
so long as the following requirements are met:
1) The act or transaction was entered into
by a partner
- It must be a transaction made by one or
more of the partners. If it is not, then normal
agency rules apply.
8. • 2) The act or transaction entered into must be
within the scope of the kind of business carried
on by the firm
This is a question of fact. Businesses may change
what they do over time.
Polkinghorne v Holland (1934)
- Mrs Holkinghorne was a client of a solicitor’s
firm and received advise from one of the partners
about an investment in which the partner was
financially interested. This investment was a
failure and Mrs Polkinghorne incurred heavy
losses and brought an action claiming damages.
- The main issue was whether the two innocent
partners were liable for her loss.
9. • - The HC stated at 156-157:
“ If, in assuming to do what is within the course of
that business, he is guilty of a wrongful act or
default, his partners are responsible, not
withstanding that it is done fraudulently and for
his own benefit: Lloyd v Grace Smith & Co. But, to
make his co-partners answerable, it is not enough
that a partner utilizes information obtained in the
course of his duties, or relies upon the personal
confidence won or influence obtained in doing
the firm’s business. Something actually done in
the course of his duties must be the occasion of
the wrongful act.”
10. • -HELD: The giving of financial or investment
advise was within the usual course of business
of that firm of solicitors.
Firms may be liable to a transaction entered
into by a partner notwithstanding that the
firm does not enter into transactions of that
type, this is usually where the transaction is of
a kind that is usually entered by other firms in
the same industry.
11. • 3) The act or transaction must be effected in the
usual way
- Even if a partner has entered into a transaction which
is within the scope of the kind of business carried on by
the partnership, the transaction will not be binding if it
is carried out in an unusual way.
- Further the act must be reasonably necessary and not
merely convenient for the carrying out of that type of
business.
- In ascertaining whether the partner’s action was
‘carried out in the usual way’, courts will look at the
particular business and at other people’s actions in
similar businesses.
12. Mercantile Credit Co Ltd v Garrod [1962]
Two ppl in a partnership that leased out garages, and
both were prohibited from selling motor vehicles.
Despite the prohibition, one partner sold a car which
he did not own, and had also done so in the past.
- The plaintiff sued the partnership and recovered
damages. The court looked at the transaction as it
would have appeared to the plaintiff and concluded
that from the plaintiff’s point of view the sale was
within the usual course of business.
- Mocotta J stated that when Parkin entered into the
sale of the Merc to the plaintiff, ‘he was doing an act of
a like kind to the business carried on by the persons
trading as a garage’.
13. In Goldberg v Jenkins (1889)
• A partner purported to borrow money on
behalf of the firm at over 60% interest when
at the time the comparable rates were
between 6% and 10%. It was held that such
borrowing was beyond ‘the usual way’ of the
firm and thus the firm was not bound to the
transaction.
14. • 4) The other Party to the transaction must either
know or believe that the person acting is a partner or
must not know of his or her lack of authority to act
Where a partner enters a transaction with
an outsider without the authority of his or
her co-partners, and that transaction is
within the scope of the kind of business
carried on by the firm and it is entered in
the usual way, it may nevertheless not be
binding on the partners if the outsider
knows of the lack of authority or does not
know or believe that the partner with
whom they acted was a partner.
15. • If the importance of state of mind of the
outsider in relation to the capacity of a person
with whom they dealt is attached, that is
whether or not the outsider believed or knew
the person was a partner, it is quite possible
that in a partnership situation the partners
who were not involved in the transaction
could escape liability simply by showing that
the outsider did not know or believe that the
person with whom they dealt was a partner.
16. • In Construction Engineering (Aust) Pty Ltd v
Hexyl Pty Ltd
Facts: A company, Tembel, entered into a partnership
agreement with Hexyl for the construction and
operation of home units on land at Edgecliff owned by
Tembel.
- The effect of this partnership agreement was that
Tembel would enter into a contract for the construction
of this building in its own name as principal. Some
months later, Tembel entered into a building contract
with Construction Engineering, who at the time of the
agreement did not know of the existence of the
Partnership, nor did it believe that Tembel was a
partner with Hexyl.
17. • - A dispute arose as to Construction
Engineering’s entitlement to payment and it
was argued that the contract made by Tembel
had been made on behalf of a partnership
between Tembel and Hexyl as principals.
- HC HELD: unanimously that Hexyl was not a
party to the building contract.
18. • The court found that the section has two limbs:
1. Actual authority – it provides that not every
partner is deemed to be an agent of the firm
and his other partners for the purposes of the
partnership business but that every partner is
an agent of the firm and his other partners for
that purpose. The actual authority to which it
refers is, however but prima facie in that it may
be negated or qualified by contrary agreement
of the partners - the court could not rely on this
limb.
19. • 2. Ostensible authority – Even though actual
authority may be lacking, the act of every partner
who does any act for carrying on in the usual way
of business of the kind carried on by the firm of
which he is a member binds the firm and his
partners unless the other party ‘either knows that
he has no authority or does not know or believe
him to be a partner’. - As Construction
Engineering did not know or believe Tembel to be
a partner this limb of the section could not assist
them.
20. • -Finally the court noted that irrespective if
Tembel as actual or ostensible authority to
enter into the building contract on behalf of
Hexyl as an undisclosed principal, the fact
remained that it did not contract in that
capacity in any case.
21. • Ratification is where a person has purported to
act as an agent but who actually had no authority
to so act, has had their actions adopted or
approved by the person who was originally said
to be the principal. This is demonstrated in
Wilson v Tumman (1843).
Ratification can be express or implied and where
applicable the principal will be liable for the
actions which have been ratified. In a partnership
context, this means that where a person’s actions
have been ratified by co-partners, the co-partners
will be liable for those actions.
22. • The partnership Act contains other sections which
regulate a partner’s dealings with outsiders. These
sections include:
*Refer sec 8 of PA
This section effectively means that acts done with
the intention of binding the firm will bind the
firm. However, partners will not be bound where
any act was done or document signed, even if
related to the business and done for its benefit, if
it is done by a person in his or her own right and
not on behalf of the firm. - The question will
always be: did the person act privately or on
behalf of the firm?
23. • Re Briggs & Co (1906)
A father and son were partners in a firm. The firm
was in financial difficulties. They were being
pressed by the creditors and they have no money
to pay back the creditors. The assigned book
debts to the creditors. The son deal with this
without informing the other partner i.e the
father. Later they firm was declared bankrupt and
the trustee sought to set a side the agreement
stating that it was executed by the individual.
Court held that the agreement was bonding
because it was an instrument relating to the
business of the firm and there was some
intention to bind the firm.
24. • The provision is complemented by the following two sections:
Partners using the credit of the firm for private purposes
Section 9 of the PA provides: *Refer sec 9
This means that partners using credit of the firm
for private purposes will not bind the partnership
unless they are specifically authorised by the other
partners. The limits of being ‘specifically
authorised’ are unclear, however there is some
authority to suggest that if an outsider had
reasonable grounds to suppose that there was
authority (Kendal v Wood (1870)) or
a representation or some form of acquiescence
(London Chartered Accountant v Kerr (1878))
existed, this would be enough to satisfy the
section.
25. • Notice of an agreement that a firm will not be
bound by the act of a partner
Section 10 of the PA provides: *Refer sec 10
Therefore partners who have restrictions placed
upon their powers to bind the firm will not bind it
when they exceed these restrictions if the other
party to the transaction knows of the restrictions.
This applies where the partner’s power has been
restricted or terminated. In such cases notice of
the restriction or termination must be given to
the outsider.
26. • LIABILITY IN CONTRACT, TORT AND CRIME
Debts and obligations
Section 11 of the PA provides: *Refer sec 11
Joint liability means that, although liability is
incurred by two or more persons, there is only
one right of action against them. So, once
judgement is entered against a partner or
partners, further legal action cannot be brought
against the other partners who could have been
jointly liable had they been included in the
action.
27. • A partner’s liability in contract is governed by
Part II of the Partnership Act 1961. According
to that, a partner’s liability for debts and
obligation if the firm incurred while he is a
partner. This means that there is only one
cause of action and if it is exhausted no
further action against any member of the firm
can be commenced.
28. • Liability of the firm for wrongs
Section 12 of the PA provides: *Refer sec 12
Further Section 14 of the PA sets out that the
liability for wrongs is joint and several. The Act
provides:
Every partner is liable jointly with the partner’s
co-partners and also severally for everything for
which the firm while the partner is a partner
therein becomes liable under section 12 or 13.
29. • Thus liability for both civil wrongs and crime is covered by
these sections. In order for liability to be established it
must be shown that the wrongful act or omission of the
partner:
• Occurred in the ordinary course of business of the firm
or
• Was authorised by the co-partners.
In Walker and others v European Electronics Pty Ltd
“…the essential task remains one of identifying the nature
and scope of the business of the firm and relating the
wrongful act to the business so identified…The nature and
scope of the business of a firm will fall to be determined by
reference to the agreement between the partners.”
30. • Liability for misapplication of money or property
received by the firm
Section 13 of the PA provides: *Refer sec 13
The firm is liable to make good the loss.
Subsection (a) relates to instances where the
partner is acting within his or her apparent
authority and actually misapplies the money or
property.
• Refer case law in note @ Samsar (if any)
31. • Incoming and outgoing partners
Section 19 of the PA provides: Refer sec 19
Basically, a partner will only be liable for debts and
obligations incurred while he or she is a partner.
Retiring partners will be liable for debts and
obligations incurred while they were
partners, subject to being discharged by the new
partners and creditors. However, consent of the
incoming partners or creditors to the debts will often
be drawn as an inference from the parties conduct.
When a partner retires, they should advertise in the
local newspaper, so at to give notice to
outsiders, otherwise they may still be an apparent
partner.
32. • Liability by non-partners – by ‘holding out’ or
estoppel (Refer sec 16)
• This section makes it clear that it is the person
who is represented as a partner or who
represents himself or herself as a partner that is
liable to outsiders who have on the faith of the
representation given credit to the firm. Such a
person my be described as a ‘partner in estoppel’.
In Re Buchanan & Co (1876), it was held that the
section places liability upon the person who
represents themselves, or allows themselves to
be represented as a partner – not upon the actual
partners.
33. • To incur liability under this section, 3 tests
need to be fulfilled:
• A representation must be made that the
person is a partner. This can be done by the
person themselves or any of the partners
generally. It will be a question of fact whether
a representation has been made. Further the
representation need not have been made
directly to the person who acts upon it.
34. Martyn v Gray
“If the defendant informs AB that he is a partner
in a commercial establishment and AB informs
the plaintiff, and the plaintiff, believing the
defendant to be a member of the
firm, supplies goods to them, the defendant is
liable for the price”.
35. • Credit must be provided by a third party
who believes the representation to be true.
• Credit must be provided by a third party
who believes the representation to be true.
Credit would include the receiving of property
or the incurring of an obligation.
• The third party must rely upon the
representation.
36. • Admissions and representations by partners
Section 17 of the PA provides:
An admission or representation made by a
partner concerning the partnership affairs , and in
the ordinary course of business, is evidence
against the firm.
The firm will be responsible in circumstances
contemplated by the section for statements of a
partner when they are made by the partner who
is acting within their actual or apparent authority.
