If they were so prescient, how come they did not see that coming?
On May 1st, 2013 the Federal Court of Appeal issued its judgment in the Prescient Foundation. The case itself was notable not simply because of the decisions rendered by the Court on the questions in issue, but also (and perhaps primarily) because of the standard of the review analysis conducted by the Court. Those us who have appeared before the Federal Court of Appeal know that the standard of review can in fact decide the case and so of all the issues decided by the Court this might perhaps have the greatest long term impact on future litigation in the charities area.
