How Is Convergence Best Achieved In International Project Finance?, Catherine Pédamon Jan 2000

How Is Convergence Best Achieved In International Project Finance?, Catherine Pédamon

More Than Money, Justice Catherine Branson Jan 2000

More Than Money, Justice Catherine Branson

Fordham International Law Journal

In this Paper, I refer to probably the most disadvantaged sector of the Australian community, its indigenous peoples. I have chosen this group, because Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have become a significant body of litigants in my Court since the Federal Court of Australia was given jurisdiction to make determinations of native land title.
