Court rules against stolen generation woman in test case AAP -- A 56-year-old member of the stolen generation today lost her test court case against the state of New South Wales. In a 432-page judgment, Supreme Court judge Justice Alan Abadee found there was no common law duty of care imposed on the Aborigines Welfare Board. Joy Williams, of Wollongong, had sued the state of NSW, claiming it breached its duty of care when it assumed guardianship of her and put her in various institutions. Ms Williams, who was not present for the decision, was taken from her mother at birth in 1942. Justice Abadee ordered Ms Williams to pay the state's legal costs. ------------------------------------------------------- RecOzNet2 has a page @ http://www.green.net.au/recoznet2 and is archived at http://www.mail-archive.com/ To unsubscribe from this list, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED], and in the body of the message, include the words: unsubscribe announce or click here mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=unsubscribe%20announce This posting is provided to the individual members of this group without permission from the copyright owner for purposes of criticism, comment, scholarship and research under the "fair use" provisions of the Federal copyright laws and it may not be distributed further without permission of the copyright owner, except for "fair use."
