McCabes acted for the successful defendant in the matter of Macari v Snack Brands Foods Pty Ltd [2024] NSWSC 139 where the NSW Supreme Court recently held that the plaintiff was unable to establish the cause of his slip and fall down a staircase, and thereby could not establish what reasonable precautions the occupier should have taken to prevent the plaintiff from slipping on the stairs.
In Allianz Australia Insurance Ltd v Salucci [2023] NSWSC 1953, the matter before the Supreme Court was the Insurer's application for judicial review of the Review Panel's determination of 24% whole person impairment in respect of the Claimant's physical injuries.
