Overview
While regulation is often perceived within a vertical hierarchy of a state-centred paradigm with command and control tools, legal researchers in this program look to a decentred account of regulation which highlights not only the role of state institutions, but also regulatory actors such as the role of markets, third party accreditation and self regulation and private grievance procedures. Researchers examine the complex array of interdependent and overlapping mechanisms in contract, intellectual property and insurance laws.
A particular focus of this theme is the examination of the Australian reform proposals which relate to nonprofit organisations such as taxation, incorporated associations, fundraising, companies limited by guarantee, charitable gaming, privacy and government funding. Researchers are currently working with COAG and National Nonprofit Roundtable in relation to an agenda to reform the regulatory environment of nonprofit organisations in Australia. Researchers in this area have a national and international reputation in respect of philanthropic and nonprofit taxation and third sector legal and regulatory structures.
