Queensland court decisions broken down so you understand what happened, why the court decided the way it did, and what it means for you.
Gilmour v Blue Care [2024] QDC 189
Blue Care was found to have breached its duty of care in three distinct ways after a female care worker was sexually assaulted at an Ipswich hostel. The court rejected the employer's argument that the assault was unforeseeable, and found no contributory negligence against the worker.
Eden v Jamieson [2023] QSC 240
A Queensland Supreme Court found the driver negligent after striking a pedestrian from behind on a straight road in good visibility. No contributory negligence was found despite the plaintiff walking on the road itself.
