(10 marks) 4 What are some of the possible remedies open to the aggrieved customers of Medibank Private Limited in this situation for issues of this kind? (10 marks) Qantas Airways Limited has also been in the news recently with its reputation under scrutiny. How does this differ from the issues being considered at present about Qantas Airways Limited? (10 marks) In your answers, demonstrate a clear understanding of both the facts, allegations and the law. You are expected to conduct your own wide reading from eg scholarly writings and news sources and to familiarize yourself with the facts. You will need to undertake legal research and analysis in order to provide support for all of your answers above and this includes references to the relevant law where applicable.

1. Demonstrated familiarity with the relevant law and policies (based on sound research); 2. Evaluation of arguments/critical analysis of the relevant law and policies (based on sound research); 3. Development of argument (based on sound research); 4. Structure and organisation; 5. Originality; 6. Quality of expression, spelling, grammar, and punctuation; and 7. Referencing and bibliography. Structure: While there is always a place for creativity in answering the questions set, somewhere towards the early part of the answer, there should be an outline/summary/statement of your argument/answer to the question in a nutshell. (Where 3 a question includes a quotation to be analysed, ensure that you address the nub of the quotation in all aspects of the assignment). The assignment should also typically include: brief statement of the law/development or change proposal/development; analysis (eg what was/is the change meant to achieve and why; has it achieved/is it likely to achieve that goal; is it too early to tell; what does the case law and scholarly analysis tell us?) The conclusion ought to consist of a summary showing how your analysis supports your opinions/deductions. It is significant to note that good research supports good analysis. Headings may also be useful. For the problem section of the question, the IRAC (issue, rule, apply, conclude) technique may be useful. Research Skills: Please refer to Milne, S & Tucker, K, A Practical Guide to Legal Research, latest edition, Law Book Company. You will note from the schedule for the course, that the lecturer takes students through research databases and methodologies that are relevant to the assignment, also. It is important to attend that class - as it is important to attend most classes.
