The Supreme Court of Tasmania has scheduled several cases for the 10th of October 2014. The first case involves Alan Quarmby, who is bringing an action against Qasair Investments Pty Ltd. The specific nature of the dispute is not detailed in the text, but it is likely to pertain to matters such as breach of contract, negligence, or property rights given the civil jurisdiction context. The hearing is set to take place in Court 1 at Salamanca Place, Hobart, before the full court. The second case listed is an application by Jamie Gregory McCrossen seeking the discharge of a dangerous criminal declaration. This application is before Associate Justice Holt in Court 3, also located at Salamanca Place, Hobart, within the criminal jurisdiction of the court.

The legal issues before the court in the Quarmby case would likely involve interpretation of contractual terms, the extent of liability under tort law if applicable, or the determination of property rights. The court would need to consider the evidence presented by both parties, apply relevant statutes, and potentially interpret precedents to reach a decision. For the McCrossen case, the court would focus on the criteria for a dangerous criminal declaration, the evidence supporting or refuting the declaration, and the balance between public safety and the individual's rights. Justice Holt would need to weigh the seriousness of the alleged crime, the likelihood of re-offending, and any mitigating factors.

The court's reasoning and outcome for the Quarmby case will depend on the specifics of the evidence and legal arguments presented. If the court finds in favour of Quarmby, it may result in damages, specific performance, or another form of remedy as appropriate. Conversely, if Qasair Investments Pty Ltd is successful, the court may dismiss the claim with costs. In the McCrossen case, if the court finds that the dangerous criminal declaration is justified, it will likely deny the application, maintaining the declaration. Should the court determine that the declaration is no longer appropriate, it will discharge the declaration, potentially releasing McCrossen from the restrictions imposed by the declaration. Each decision will be detailed in the court's written reasons, which will provide a comprehensive analysis of the evidence and legal principles applied.
