Live Group Pty Ltd v Rabbi Ulman

Live Group Pty Ltd sought an injunction against Rabbi Ulman, alleging that he had improperly pressured the company's employees and breached a non-disclosure agreement. The case was heard in the Federal Court of Australia. The dispute centred on whether Rabbi Ulman had engaged in contempt of court and whether the principles of natural justice, specifically the rule against bias, applied to him.

The legal issues before the court were whether Rabbi Ulman had indeed exerted improper pressure on employees and breached the non-disclosure agreement, and whether the principles of apprehended bias were applicable to him. The court had to determine if there was a reasonable apprehension of bias on his part.

The court found that Rabbi Ulman had engaged in improper pressure on employees and breached the non-disclosure agreement. However, regarding the applicability of the principles of natural justice, the court held that these principles did not apply to him. It concluded that there was no reasonable apprehension of bias in his conduct. Therefore, the court dismissed the application for contempt against Rabbi Ulman.

The Federal Court of Australia dismissed the application for contempt against Rabbi Ulman and held that the principles of natural justice, specifically the rule against bias, were not applicable to him.
