The tragedy of the Victorian bushfires has thrown up many legal issues. These are discussed in the programme ‘The Law Report’ originally broadcast on ABC Radio National on Tuesday 17 February, which included commentary from me on the litigation following the 2003 Canberra fires. You can listen to the programme from the ABC website: ABC Law Report Home

The case you referenced about the fire brigade using the dam owners water, who was then unable to defend his property will be an interesting one….
Yes, indeed it will and if those facts are established, it may well make that case different to the others. We will have to wait and see.
I found your post looking on yahoo for just this information. I’m going to add you to favorites, I got alot from some of your other posts as well. Thanks!
