Notable Work:

Anderson successfully defended an employer against a union’s claim that it was guilty of an industrial relations offence related to alleged illegal industrial action.

He secured damages for personal injuries resulting from employer negligence, while fully resisting any attempt to attribute partial responsibility to the claimant.

He also argued a series of complex preliminary points in a case concerning the defence of a claim for specific performance of a land sale agreement, which ultimately resulted in an unsuccessful defence.
