Re: Silvia eye cast over Sunbeam
...thats true Marky - I have been helping my secretary who is in her 2 year of law with her assignments and she gets bonus marks for each extra defendant she can rope in...in practice it used to be the case that you join the phone directory when in doubt, but more and more that can lead to fights between defendants and insurers and can prolong things. Having said that when in doubt as a general rule, join all those against whom you are likely to have an action, and drop some off later if you have to - but bear in mind the possible adverse cost consequences of doing so.
Further, under the TPA, the power for that legislation derives from, amongst other things, the corporations power under the Fed Constitution - a lot of people think that it applies to all retailers, but it does not apply to good purchased in the shop (as opposed to purchased by post, from memory, where the TPA can again apply because of the postal powers under the Constitituion) from a retailer who is a business (eg partnership) carried on by individuals, as opposed to a corporation. Its a minefield out there!!!
Cheers

(I think one of my lecturers referred to it as the most litigated section of legislation)
