Plant Breeder's Rights actions in the Federal Court 

According to a notice to practitioners posted on the Vic Bar website, plant breeder's rights actions for infringement in the Federal Court will now be regarded as intellectual property cases for the purposes of docket allocation and allocated to one of Heerey (Convenor), Sundberg, Weinberg, Kenny, Jessup, Middleton and Gordon JJ.

(I thought, however, that Heerey J had passed the role of convenor on to Middleton J and such proceedings were already identified as "intellectual property cases" in FCR O58 r1.
