Best quote of 2009 - Heydon J on the state of the Australian litigation system
The torpid languor of one hand washes the drowsy procrastination of the other. Are these phenomena
indications of something chronic in the modern state of litigation? Or are they merely acute and
atypical breakdowns in an otherwise functional system? Are they signs of a trend, or do they reveal only an anomaly?
