Last week we hosted the Hon Justice Anthony Payne for the first of our June Judges Series lectures.

The next lecture is Friday, 21 June with the Hon Justice Ian Jackman on the interesting topic of cryptocurrency and how the courts may see it as property, both in person at the NSW State Library in Sydney and streamed simultaneously online.

You can find out more details and book here: https://www.cla.org.au/Events/EventDetails/1335/Cryptocurrency

You are cordially invited to join the Hon Justice Ian Jackman, Federal Court of Australia, and Sarah Hill, Barrister from 4 Selborne Chambers (Chair) on Friday, 21 June between 1 pm - 2 pm for a seminar on Cryptocurrency: a question of "property".

An ever-moving feast, cryptocurrency has now been recognised as property in various common law jurisdictions. However, the issue has not yet arisen in substantive proceedings in Australia, as such, much of the reasoning and commentary as to the particular nature of cryptocurrency as property is open to question.

This seminar will examine that reasoning and demonstrate that longstanding High Court authority on 'property' should yield a clear answer in favour of the view that cryptocurrency is property.

The seminar will be held at the NSW State Library Sydney, however, you can either attend in person or online via Zoom. The choice between seminar type is available at registration, which can be found here: https://lnkd.in/giX8BRRm

An ever moving feast, 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. As such, much of the reasoning and commentary as to the particular nature of cryptocurrency as 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.

The seminar will be held at the NSW State Library Sydney, however, you can either attend in person or online via Zoom. The choice between seminar type is available at registration, which can be found here: https://cla.org.au/Events/EventDetails/1335/Cryptocurrency
