Damages in unusual circumstances: special loss arising from a defamation, damages for disappointment and distress and the (un)availability of loss of dependency damages for statutory claims

In this Level Twenty Seven Chambers webinar Rob Anderson QC and Mark Eade reflected on the state of play for damages claims. They looked at:

• What the future holds for damages claims in light of Nationwide News Pty Ltd v Rush, Rayney v Western Australia, Wilson v Bauer Media and Moore v Scenic Tours Pty Ltd
• The availability or otherwise of loss of dependency damages for statutory claims and the judgment from Barclay v Penberthy, with particular focus on Australian Consumer Law
