Defamation and Damages – Don’t Cast Your Net Too Wide:
A recent defamation case heard by the Supreme Court of New South Wales has highlighted the importance of carefully constructing your case for defamation and who the parties you wish to sue are.

I don’t. Who keeps the Engagement Ring when the Wedding is Called Off?
Proposing to your partner is one of the scariest and most exciting things you will ever do and when they say yes it feels as though all of your dreams have suddenly come true. In most cases proposing and sliding that beautiful ring, that you have spent countless hours saving up for, onto her finger is the first step on a long and happy road together, however this is not always the case and before the wedding takes place the relationship may break down.

Usually an FPA is filed when due to certain circumstances a family member has decided not to leave anything to a person, or leaves them with too little.
