Dear all (apologies for cross posting)

This is a preliminary announcement of an international conference to be hosted by the Faculty of Law, The University of New South Wales in Sydney Australia from 16-18 December 2004. The title of the conference is "Fusion: The Interaction of Common Law and Equity in Commercial Law" (www.fusion.unsw.edu.au). As the title suggests, the conference will explore the extent and manner of the interaction between common law and equity.

The conference will be held in the salubrious setting of New South Wales Parliament House with the conference dinner (Friday 17 December) to be held in the dining room at Parliament House. The sessions on Saturday 18 December will be held in the Banco Court in the Supreme Court of New South Wales.

The speakers (who are amongst the finest minds in this area, drawn from legal practice, the academy and from the highest levels of the judiciary) are diversely spread from Australia, England, Ireland, Canada and New Zealand. There will be many different perspectives offered on the issue and topics include examination of highly contemporary issues in the field including:

* Tracing
* Specific performance
* Fusion
* The equitable basis of unjust enrichment
* Misdirected transfers and recipient liability
* Set-off
* Mitigation in equity
* Taxonomies and legal order
* Punitive damages in equity

A discount rate for the conference will be offered to full-time academics but bookings should be made soon to ensure a place. The conference website is www.fusion.unsw.edu.au.

With very best wishes
