  The Commonwealth Lawyers' Association (CLA) exists to maintain and promote the rule of law throughout the Commonwealth by ensuring that an independent and efficient legal profession serves the people of the Commonwealth.Commonwealth countries share a substantial common ground in their legal systems and the lawyers of these countries have much to learn from the comparative experience of their colleagues in other jurisdictions.

  During his 40 years of service, Ron Heinrich has contributed extensively to the legal profession, both in Australia and internationally.He is a past President of both the Law Society of New South Wales and the Law Council of Australia.He is also a past Chairman of LawCover Pty Limited, where he remains a member of the Board.He is a past Chairman of the Law Society's Professional Conduct Committee and has been involved in the investigation and prosecution of solicitors guilty of professional misconduct, fraud and corruption.Ron is also a past Chairman of the Law Society's Medico-Legal Liaison and Alternative Dispute Resolution Committees.

  "The New South Wales government's insistence on proceeding with negligence law reform in isolation from the rest of the country is threatening a comprehensive outcome to the issues of insurance affordability and availability," said Law Council of Australia President Ron Heinrich.
  
  Mr Heinrich said, "All other State and Territory governments are taking a sensible approach to law reform by allowing proper consideration to be given to the detailed report and the 61 recommendations presented to governments by the Negligence Review Panel chaired by Justice David Ipp."
  
  "In contrast, the NSW government has announced that it will push on regardless with legislative changes which to date have been inconsistent with the expert advice of Justice Ipp and the separate report by a working party under the aegis of Australian Health Ministers," said Mr Heinrich.
  ...
  Mr Heinrich was responding to the communiqu from today's meeting of Ministers to consider the report on public liability of the Negligence Review Panel.Mr Heinrich said, "There are real issues about the affordability and availability of public liability insurance, and lawyers, along with doctors, insurers and the community as a whole want to address those issues."
  
  "The Law Council believes that governments should address both sides of the issue, namely the insurance market and the legal system.Governments should also be cautious about taking away individual's rights to compensation when somebody is at fault in causing them harm," said Mr Heinrich.
  ...
  Mr Heinrich said, "Restricting legal costs is a good example of how the compensation system can be made more efficient without losing individuals' compensation rights."
  
  The Law Council opposed caps on economic loss, and on pain and suffering."Pain and suffering is real loss, and injuries may be psychological as well as physical.Senator Connan's suggestion that people with depression should "get over" it is unfortunate, and I doubt represents her considered views.We shouldn't exclude the real pain and injuries people suffer, due to somebody else's carelessness or deliberately inflicted harm, from being compensated," concluded Mr Heinrich.

  Law Council President, Ron Heinrich said, "It is encouraging that the UK-US talks have produced an assurance that the death penalty will not be sought against the British detainees.
  ...
  This is an extraordinary situation that is more like pre-revolution France than what one would expect in the United States in 2003", said Mr Heinrich.
  ...
  I fear that Military Commission procedures will not be credible, and that those who wish to turn a blind eye to the indisputable evil of al-Qaeda will find it easy to do so," said Mr Heinrich.
  
  Mr Heinrich noted that the Law Council had identified fundamental problems with the Military Commission process.
  ...
  The Law Council has written today to the Prime Minister, the US Ambassador to Australia, the Opposition, Australian Democrats and the Greens restating its concerns," Mr Heinrich concluded.
