After a year-long battle with cancer, our beloved friend and colleague Professor Phillipa Weeks passed away on Friday 4 August 2006.

Phillipa was one of Australia's leading experts in labour law and property law, a highly respected scholar, and an inspirational teacher loved and revered by her students. Above all, her warmth, compassion and empathy for her fellow human beings, her selfless devotion to her institution and her discipline, and her caring nature, made her an extraordinary role model for all those who knew her. The ANU community is enveloped in deep sadness over the tragically premature loss of a wonderful colleague who still had so much to give.

The funeral will be held at 10.30 am on Wednesday 9 August 2006 at the Holy Rosary Catholic Church, cnr Antill and Phillip Avenue, Watson.
