| In September 2012 The Hon. Michael Kirby AC CMG Justice of the High Court of Australia (1996-2009, Chairman, OECD Expert Group on Privacy Protection (1978-80) said;‘This service covers all aspects and causes of action necessary for the protection of confidential information as an aspect of intellectual property. It is unique in Australia. For many years it has been used by the legal profession as its first resort in problems of this kind. It collects the many relevant principles and causes of action that can be invoked to protect against the misuse of information. Moreover, it presents the subject with logic and simplicity. It draws on Robert Dean’s practical outlook, derived from years of experience as a barrister, working in this specialised field of law. It is a boon to legal practitioners but also a delight to scholars and judges, searching in the mass of legal detail for the emerging unifying concepts. I warmly commend this work’ |
