Navigate the complexities of landlord-tenant relationships with the expertise of Barrister and Solicitor Michael Mulligan from Mulligan Defense Lawyers, who joins us to unravel a contentious case where legal procedures and personal rights collide. As we dissect the Duncan case, you'll gain an understanding of how a simple notice for personal occupancy can escalate into a substantial monetary judgment and why procedural fairness in the Residential Tenancy Act hearings is more crucial than ever. Discover the role modern technology plays in judicial fairness as telephone hearings present unique challenges, including the risk of one party being left in the dark due to unequal access to documents.

Transitioning to the workplace, we explore the razor-thin line between honesty and deceit through a narrative that serves as a cautionary tale for any professional. Michael Mulligan breaks down an intriguing wrongful dismissal lawsuit, where a manager's meal receipts resulted in cause for dismissal. But that's not all; we also examine the heart-wrenching story of a student's battle for rightful compensation following life-altering car accidents, contrasting this with the current landscape of no-fault insurance. Whether you're a landlord, tenant, employer, or employee, this episode provides not only the legal insights you need to navigate these waters but also the personal stories that remind us of the stakes at hand.
