Abstract | The article challenges the position that in the absence of appropriate evidence of the state of foreign law where foreign law is the proper law to be applied to resolve a dispute, that the foreign law should be presumed to be the same as local law. This approach was adopted by some members of the High Court in the recent case of Neilson v Overseas Projects Corporation of Victoria Ltd (2005) 223 CLR 331. |
