McCabe vs. British America Tobacco Australia Services Limited




Abstract
The original argument was that cigarettes caused Ms. McCabe's cancer because she was not aware of the health risks involved in smoking cigarettes.
Materials was taken from service that help write an essay. The appeal argument stated that the destruction of documents interfered with a fair trial.
This paper explores in detail if the destruction of documents by the tobacco company,
in order to hide information concerning the health risks of cigarette smoking interfered with a fair trial.
From the Paper:

"The entire concept behind the documentation retention policy is the reason in question as
why the documents were destroyed. The courts have decided that the tobacco company was in their
legal right in destroying the documents. But although they have been destroyed lawfully, the intention
behind the documents may have interfered with justice. Were the documents destroyed to create
more space, to be more cost and time efficient; or were they destroyed because they contained valuable
evidence that related cigarette smoking to lung cancer? "
