Jones And Harbour Radio Pty Limited v Trad (EOD) [2011] NSWADTAP 19 (27 April 2011).
Sydney, Australia

ON 7 APRIL 2011, the High Court of Australia delivered Miller v Miller [2011] HCA 9 (7 April 2011).
A joint illegal enterprise (eg joyride) negates a duty of care (driver to passenger) thereby creating a defence of illegality on the part of the driver/insurer: see Gala v Preston [1991] HCA 18. However, in Miller v Miller the High Court held that the plaintiff (injured passenger) was owed a duty of care because she withdrew from the enterprise by asking to be let out of the car and there were no reasonable steps available to her to prevent the continuation of the offence.
