The lecture looked at the period from Sir Garfield Barwick’s retirement as Chief Justice to the Court’s recent landmark decision concerning the general anti-avoidance provision in Commissioner of Taxation v Hart. The talk, ‘Tax Avoidance and the Hight Court since Sir Garfield Barwick” is the inaugural public lecture in a series of tax lectures hosted by the Melbourne Law School, which will focus on taxation law in context and look at the development of taxation law from a legal and historical perspective.
Myers is a QC in all states and territories and is a barrister in England and Papua New Guinea.
