Roberts v Smith

In *Roberts v Smith* [1998] NSWCA 189, the New South Wales Court of Appeal considered a dispute between the appellant, Roberts, and the respondent, Smith. The precise nature of the dispute is not detailed in the provided text, but it was brought before the Court of Appeal for determination.

The central legal issue before the Court of Appeal was to determine the correct interpretation and application of certain legal principles relevant to the dispute between Roberts and Smith. The court was required to consider the legal arguments presented by both parties and apply the relevant Australian law to the facts of the case.

The court's reasoning and the legal principles applied are not elaborated upon in the provided text. However, the decision of the Court of Appeal on 19 November 1998 would have resolved the legal questions raised by the parties and determined the outcome of the appeal.
