This case was heard in the supreme court and court of appeals, and the original jurisdiction of the supreme court is to hear unlimited cases. It is used for more complex and larger civil disputes. As this was a high profile civil case it was heard in the supreme court. Either party was able to appeal to the court of appeals, the defendants appealed as they believed it was important to review the damages. This resulted in Wilsons amount of damages being reduced significantly.

In this case, the remedy that was awarded to YZ, was $180,000 for General Damages which was awarded as a result of her mental loss.

The was awarded to the plaintiff, as the defendant had failed to take enough action to prevent YZ from being traumatized from work. YZ was initially in criminal reporting, then got transferred to sports, The Age then pressed YZ to transfer to a court reporter role which shows the negligence of the defendant.
The defendant also failed to provide enough support for criminal and court reporters in the form of peer support and counseling from trained psychologists.
As The Age alleged, contributory negligence from the plaintiff may have contributed towards her psychological harm, however this claim was rejected by Judge O'Neill.
Judge O'Neill awarded damages at $180,000 as a result of her improving(but still injured) psychological state after she left.

A remedy that was awarded in this case was 5,748,233.28 dollars, this sum is likely to be higher as the parties could not agree on the total amount of compliance costs. The appropriateness of this remedy is fair as factors such as and unwillingness to agree on a total amount of compliance costs  ultimately drove the value of the remedy down, however applicants had claimed 12 million dollars in damages which is significantly more than the 6 million dollars they ended up receiving.

Wilson went straight to the courts, but a dispute resolution body she could've used was arbitration as the arbitrators award is legally binding so whatever the arbitrator awards must be the outcome of the case. If Wilson had decided to go with an arbitrator it would've been cheaper than going to court, private and confidential.

The amount of damages sought by Orman was unspecified as often the case the calculation of damages has not yet been completed, but it was reported in one newspaper article that the amount sought could be as much as $10 million.
General damages → Orman's faced emotional suffering n loss of enjoyment of life as he was wrongly jailed for 12 years. For a crime that Orman never committed, and he did not receive a fair trial, it is very possible that the mental harm that he suffered was significant
limitation -
- consideration of the extent of Orsman's emotional suffering and loss of enjoyment of life.
- whether damages can adequately compensate for the time, stress and inconvenience of court proceedings

strengths -
- compensated Orman for pain and suffering he suffered
- Orman's counsel may make submissions about the appropriate amount of damages he should receive

One dispute resolution body that may be involved in resolving this case is VCAT. VCAT usually hears and determines small claims that are resolved in a short and informal hearing where the parties do not have legal representation. however in this flammable cladding case VCAT demonstrated that it has the power and jurisdiction to hear large complex cases and also has the power to award significant damages-in this case over 5 million dollars. Weaknesses in normal VCAT hearing maybe a the informalness in the conduction of dispute resolution.

If this case were to be heard in court, an appeal must be made from one of the parties to the court of appeal, as one of the vice-presidents of VCAT heard and determined the dispute. The Gardner Group, Tanah Merah, and Elenberg Fraser, decided to lodge a appeal with the Court of Appeal to appeal VCATs decision, but as of today, no appeal has yet been heard. It as anticipated as VCATs decision was highly significant as it was one of the firsts in Australia.

Fairness was shown as both parties were able to present their cases (and to rebut the other sides). In this case equality was shown, as both parties had right to appeal, and had experienced legal representation, allowing for both parties to be presented equally. Access is used with the use of mediation (VCAT), as it gives access to both parties to resolve their dispute other than a hearing, in case either party wasn't able to afford costs. The hearing was also an open hearing, allowing for parties and members of the community to access information.

The parties could use mediation to resolve the case which is to bring in a third party to help the parties reach a resolution. The point of using meditation is to find an agreement outside of court so that it would benefit them as it is much cheaper than paying for lawyers and going to court. The only court this can be heard in is the Supreme Court which can make a binding decision as to liability. this only occurs if the parties can't reach an agreement. (Lachlan)

Fairness was achieved through the use of case management powers meaning that the court could order them to mediation or a pre-trial conference to address the issues.
for equality, the judge asked impartially without bias and both parties had legal representation
For access, class actions were used which means that they can become a member of a class and get access to the courts and to a possible remedy that they might otherwise not be able to do so.
Overall i believe that the principles of justice were achieved because there was very little things that may have been unjust.

In relation to this case, principles of justice could be achieved by the accused, Mr Orman having adaquate legal representation. This allows for the defendant to have proper understanding of the legal process and language.
Equality can be achieved by the judge acting impartially and without bias. This means that despite Mr Orman having originally been charged for murder, the judge would not hold and prejudice against Mr Orman.
Access can be achieved by having good legs, representation and advice and advice would allow Mr Orman to properly appeal his case.

YZ issued her claim in the county court, which has unlimited jurisdiction to hear civil disputes. Because YZ was claiming $250,000 in damages, the Magistrates' court did not have jurisdiction to hear this dispute as the magistrates court only hears civil disputes of claims $100,000 and under. The dispute could've also been heard in the supreme court which has unlimited jurisdiction to hear civil disputes. However, the county court is sometimes the preferred court to hear smaller claims involving personal injury, such as that suffered by YZ. It was not appropriate for this case to be heard by bodies such as consumer affairs Victoria or the Victorian civil and administrative tribunal because this dispute involved and employee-employer relationship.

In this case, the principles of justice were achieved. The directions and orders given by the Supreme Court gave both parties and opportunity to present their case and to rebut the other sides case, the rules of the procedure were followed, a jury was the decider of the facts, there was a timely resolution for the case, and that both parties had adequate legal representation.
Equality was shown in the case as the judge acted impartially without bias, both parties had experienced legal representation, the jurors had no connection to or relationship with the parties, however as Wilson is high profile, the jurors may have been been influence by this factor, and both parties had the right to appeal the case.
Access was shown in this case, as the trial was conducted by an open hearing (this ensures that parties and members of the community can access the information about the way a dispute was resolved, ensuring transparency), they had access to the reasons the Court made their decision, as well as that both parties had the right to appeal.
