Council of Law Reporting Act 1969
Competition Policy Review Report - Option 2
Option 2 - The Council of Law Reporting would continue to determine authorised judgments, but would not control publication arrangements
The main reasons advanced in support of this option were:
- It is important that responsibility for the reporting process remain with an independent body, rather than with a single commercial publisher. To do otherwise would inhibit competition and may result in over reporting and result in the imposition of higher costs on consumers; and
- This option involves some limitation on the Council’s discretion so that the Council cannot establish exclusive licensing arrangements or exclusively publish electronic versions of the NSWLR, thereby inhibiting competiton.
