PANEL EXPERTS
RICHARD COBDEN SC
Barrister, Nigel Bowen Chambers
Richard Cobden is a barrister and senior counsel at the NSW Bar who does copyright cases from time to time. He is of the view that 1, the Copyright Act and 2, the judicial system are no longer fit for purpose; and that both 3, legislation and 4, judgments are too long by a factor of several. He is also opposed to documents in landscape, which means that PowerPoint presentations are out of the question. Some of those matters – most likely 1, 3 and 4 (2 being a political, not a professional, question), and documentary formats – will inform his remarks on this occasion.
