New High Court Chief Justice
The Australian Government recently announced the appointment of Justice Robert French (currently of the Federal Court) as Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia.
Justice French takes up the position from 1 September, becoming the 12th Chief Justice appointed to the High Court since Federation, and the first from Western Australia. The current High Court Chief Justice Murray Gleeson will retire on 29 August. This appointment represents a significant change to the High Court bench and one that will prove very interesting especially in the area of IP given his Honour's experience in this area.
