Have you ever grappled with the intricate workings of the legal system or wondered how an ordinary person can fare against its complexities? Michael Mulligan from Mulligan Defense Lawyers joins us to unpack a gripping small claims court drama where a patient fearlessly faces a dentist over accusations of negligence. Walk through the courtroom doors in Abbotsford and witness the struggle of gathering admissible evidence, the nuances of consent in medical treatments, and the precarious balance between self-representation and the need for legal expertise. This episode peels back the layers of professional negligence, highlighting the importance of expert testimony and the adjudication of consent and battery in medical settings.

The legal labyrinth doesn't stop there; join us as we navigate the murky waters of extradition laws, where missed deadlines and constitutional challenges spark a heated discourse on international justice. Then, we shift gears to a contentious condo ownership dispute that reveals the decisive role of equity when legal titles clash with lived realities. Michael Mulligan helps us dissect how Canadian courts handle the delicate issues of resulting trusts and equitable interests, offering a glimpse into the soul of justice and fairness as it intersects with the surge in property market values. Through these stories, we confront the compelling question: how does the law reconcile with the twists and turns of human relationships and the inevitable missteps of bureaucracy?
