What is the legal issue you are asked to investigate? (Hint: write a legal issue statement)

Compare and contrast the law as applied in Stasiw v ASIC and Boyce v ASIC. Which decision is the best precedent?

Hint: See Perth Martial Arts Academy v ASIC at [36].

Now that you've reviewed the relevant laws, I would like you to summarise them, as you would in the 'Law' section of a legal memo. Remember to include authorities!

Relevant law:

Stasiw v ASIC (2015)

Boyce v ASIC (2015)

Business Names Registration Act 2011 (Cth) ss 24, 25 & 26

Business Names Registration (Availability of Names) Determination 2015 (Cth) s 7

Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth) Volume 6, Schedule 6, Part 1

Hint: How are these laws interrelated? You want to create a narrative that flows.

Apply the law to the facts to reach a tentative conclusion as to whether the business name, KlassyKimmy Shoes, could be registered with ASIC.
