Quality control at the Commonwealth Law Reports has always been admirably high. But occasionally they do get something wrong.
If your judge were to refer in a judgment to the case of R v Quinn; Ex parte Consolidated Foods Corporation (1977) 138 CLR 1, and if, in proofing that judgment, you were diligently to follow my advice by checking the case name against the side title, you might be tempted to “correct” your judge by changing the word “Foods” to “Food”.
Don’t.
In this instance the side title happens to be wrong. “Foods” is correct.
Your judge may well be old enough to remember when “Consolidated Foods Corporation” was a thing that existed. (It is now Sara Lee Corporation.) You might not be that old. This puts you at a disadvantage. You’re welcome.
