Experience Appearances and Practice Since being called to the Bar in June 1989, I have appeared in the following Courts and Tribunals.

New South Wales The Court of Appeal, the Supreme Court, the District Court, the Local Court, the Land and Environment Court, the Industrial Relations Court, the Dust Diseases Tribunal, the Administrative Appeals Tribunal, Supreme and District Court ordered arbitrations, Supreme Court ordered and consensual mediations and the Supreme Court pilot scheme of Early Neutral Evaluations and one Disciplinary Tribunal (Board of Surveyors). Australian Capital Territory The Court of Appeal, the Supreme Court; the Magistrates Court (Coronial Inquests only), the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (NSW and Federal), the Disability Inquiry (ACT which ran for almost a year) and a private Inquiry briefed by Swimming Australia. Presently, I hold briefs to advise and appear in matters in the Supreme Courts of the Australian Capital Territory and New South Wales. I am almost always briefed with a junior. Conciliator 7
8 Until 2015 I was appointed by the ACT pursuant to the Workers Compensation Act (Regulations). I conducted ten such conciliations. Early Neutral Evaluation In 2005 I was appointed as a case evaluator (early neutral evaluation of cases) of the Supreme Court of the ACT. Mediation I have been retained by parties to mediate cases involving the following areas of law: commercial tenancies; legal professional negligence; corporate disputes; trusts disputes; contracts disputes; family provision and testamentary capacity disputes (contested probate cases); and Disputes relation to the construction of commercial instruments. All such litigation (or intended litigation) either had been or would have been commenced in the superior courts. I have conducted 11 such mediations over the last 4 or so years. I have also been briefed to appear in a great number of mediations over the years. Finally, I have had years of experience in the conduct of settlement conferences, which, although informal in nature, are still in the nature of alternate dispute resolution. Appointment to ACAT In 2009 I was appointed as a (part-time) member to ACAT. In 2012, I was appointed a part-time senior member. The cases with which I have dealt include legal professional disciplinary matters, environmental, planning, valuation (land tax) and statutory construction on the question of the ACAT s power to make costs orders as well as matters dealing with the FOI Act and the PID Act. My role in hearing these cases involves the taking and assessment of evidence, dealing with and ruling on objections, assessing the demeanour of witnesses, assessing sometimes difficult and technical evidence from experts in the field of science and valuation, writing interlocutory and final reasons for judgments ranging from short judgments to long judgments which involve mastering the facts and applying the law. I have given ex-tempore decisions relating to evidence rulings and interlocutory matters. 8
9 Present Practice Today, my practice comprises 50 per cent equity, probate, and trusts, commercial, corporate structure/dispute cases. The remaining 50 per cent of my practice is common law (tort). Of the common-law component of my practice, almost all are catastrophic medical-negligence cases, which invariably involve complex questions of medicine and/or science/technology and dealing with experts. I have appeared for defendants and plaintiffs. Publications I have written various papers/publications and or given oral presentations for Bar teaching courses (NSW) and continuing legal education programmes (ACT and Legalwise) on the subjects of succession, construction of statutes and commercial instruments, drafting pleadings, drafting affidavits and preparing briefs to counsel. I have co-authored the materials for, overseen and conducted an advocacy course for senior law students in Singapore. Louise Donohoe SC 9
