Abstract

Human Rights Day was on 15 December 2015. Three days later, on 18 December 2015, the Court of Appeal delivered its judgment in Abrahams (by his litigation guardian The Public Trustee of Queensland) v. Abrahams [2015] QCA 286 (Abrahams) which involved a determination that the primary judge, in refusing to sanction a compromise of the disabled adult�s application for further and better provision (FPA), failed to have regard to human rights principles when ascertaining his needs.
