The Commercial Law Association's June Judges Seminar Series is happening again this year on 7 June and 21 June at the State Library of NSW and via Zoom.

This year’s lunchtime series features:

• Hon Justice Anthony Payne on ‘How does a Corporation think?’, 7 June. The seminar will cover principles of corporate attribution in proving a company’s intentions.

• Hon Justice Ian Jackman on ‘Cryptocurrency’, 21 June. Cryptocurrency has now been recognised as a kind of property in various common law jurisdictions, although the issue has not yet arisen in substantive proceedings in Australia, and much of the reasoning and commentary as to the particular nature of the property is open to question. This seminar will examine that reasoning and will seek to demonstrate that longstanding High Court authority on the concept of 'property' should yield a clear answer in favour of the view that cryptocurrency is property, and as to the nature of that property.
