Case summaries
At TSP, our lawyers summarise all relevant Queensland cases (plus a selection of relevant interstate cases) as they are handed down and then share them internally for training and professional development.
We decided that in the spirit of cooperation and working together, we would share these on our website so that the wider profession is able to use them as well.
