Negligence claims

Negligence is the failure to exercise appropriate care and or ethical ruled care that is expected to be exercised under specific circumstances. Negligence falls under 4 main elements that include Duty, Breach, Damages and Causation. This falls between two parties, mainly the defendant and the plaintiff. With regards to Duty, the defendant has a duty to others to exercise reasonable care that includes the plaintiff. A breach occurs when the defendant breaches that duty through an act or the failure to act. Damages are the result of that specific act or the failure to act which leads to the plaintiff suffering an injury. Causation is where the injury caused to the plaintiff is a foreseeable consequence of the defendant’s act or failure to act.

Fraud

Fraud is the act of deliberate deception with a motive to secure unfair or unlawful gain, or to deprive the victim of a legal right.

Internet fraud, falsification of documents, forgery, counterfeiting and stealing an individual’s identity are some examples of fraud.

An injunction is a judicial order that compels an individual to carry out a certain act or restrain them from specific acts.

Property disputes

When a dispute occurs, the property agent should be contacted first to try and resolve the dispute. If the dispute remains unresolved, an individual should contact a lawyer specializing in property and land disputes.

Landlord and tenant disputes

These disputes occur when there is a breach in an agreement between the landlord and the tenant over different aspects of the rental. These include rent payment, damage of property, return of security deposits, repair and maintenance of facilities, eviction or other matters. However, there are tenancy agreements that can help better facilitate these matters. A tenancy agreement states the scope of the contractual relationship between landlord and tenant by stipulating each parties’ rights and duties in respect of the tenancy. A breach which can potentially lead to a termination of the tenancy, will result in several solutions for both landlord and tenant.
