Dear Robert

Perhaps Voth v. Manildra Flour Mills Pty Ltd (1990) 171 CLR 538 at 564 might be of interest to you. In Voth the High Court rejected Spiliada.

Kind regards

I don't hold Australian and Canadian cases in my head in quite the way that I try to do with English cases. I wonder if colleagues have any good examples of the High Court of Australia or (more improbably) the Supreme Court of Canada being particularly dismissive of a decision of the House of Lords? I have a couple of examples but nothing really strong. (It has been pointed out to me that Dixon CJ had some choice things to say about their Lordships in private. I think one person we definitely can forgive is Dixon.)
