Simon Hall wants $24 000 damages from the University of Canberra because it said its law degree met the educational requirement to practice in WA. It didn’t.

Mr Hall and the university have been in court over where his case should be heard, in a WA magistrates court or the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal. Judge Troy of the WA District Court has found for Mr Hall and the case will be heard in the west.

But how did the university make representations that its degree met the educational requirements for admission to the legal profession in WA?, CMM asked. “As this case is before the courts we have no comment,” Uni Canberra replied.
