About the Webinar

  • Mistakes – when is court rectification possible?
  • Section 90G, evidentiary value of the Statement of Advice and the shifting onus
  • Negligence claims and accrued jurisdiction
  • How to protect oneself as a practitioner if there is scant disclosure and the client insists on doing the deal anyway
