- Title
FIDUCIARY LAW, NON-ECONOMIC INTERESTS AND AMICI CURIAE.
- Authors

- Abstract
This article examines the role that amici curiae can play in improving the protection of non-economic interests in Australian fiduciary law. The current lack of protection of non-economic interests in Australian fiduciary law is doctrinally and philosophically problematic. In comparison with Australian fiduciary law cases, amici curiae participate more frequently and play a more significant role in the fiduciary law cases of other jurisdictions where non-economic interests are more readily protected. The increased participation of amici curiae in Australian courts would facilitate a more sensitive development of fiduciary principles in relation to non-economic interests. Furthermore, increased participation of amici curiae is consistent with the general principles and underlying concepts of fiduciary law and equity.
