With no statutory or common law tort for invasion of privacy in Australia, this session will explore current privacy protections and causes of action in legislation and common law. It will also discuss law reform proposals to improve redress, such as a statutory tort and strengthened protections under existing privacy legislation, as most recently recommended by the ACCC\u2019s Digital Platforms Report. Our panel will also highlight the growing tension between rapidly evolving technology and current notions of privacy.<\/p>\n
Date:<\/strong>\u00a0Wednesday 20 November 2019 The Final Report of the Hayne Banking Royal Commission found that poor culture was a key contributor to much of the misconduct it examined, with a whole chapter dedicated to \u2018Culture, Governance and Remuneration\u2019. Principal amongst the recommendations made is the adoption of an attitude to enforcement amongst Australian regulators that takes, at its starting point, \u2018Why not litigate?\u2019 Commissioner Hayne implicitly argues that the culture of organisations will improve if the law is enforced.<\/p>\n
