Kedem v Johnson Lawyers Legal Practice Pty Ltd

Kedem v Johnson Lawyers Legal Practice Pty Ltd involved the applicant, Mr Kedem, seeking to challenge the decision of the Law Society of New South Wales to refuse to review the conduct of the respondents, Johnson Lawyers Legal Practice Pty Ltd and Mr Johnson, a solicitor. The matter was heard in the Supreme Court of New South Wales. The applicant argued that the Law Society's decision was flawed, and that the Law Society should be compelled to review the conduct of the respondents. The legal issues that the court needed to address were whether the Law Society's decision was subject to judicial review, and if so, whether the decision was lawful, rational, and procedurally fair. The court found that the Law Society's decision was not subject to judicial review, as the Society's decision-making processes were immune from judicial scrutiny. The court also found that the applicant had not demonstrated any error in the Law Society's decision-making process, and that the decision was lawful, rational, and procedurally fair. As a result, the application for review was dismissed, and the respondents were successful in their defence. The court did not make any further orders.
