  • Hear about some of the most interesting Australian legal cases, including deceased estates, forged Wills, financial abuse, divorce and family law disputes, professional and medical negligence, and any other case that has enough drama to be worth discussing. I'm a solicitor specialising in Wills, Estates & Elder Law, so I kinda know what I'm talking about and will try to make it all make sense. This podcast is absolutely not legal advice or a dull legal lecture, but is more a legal soap opera! If you love true crime, but need a break from all the murder, this is the podcast for you!

    CASE: Victorian Legal Services Board v Berry [2024] VSC 778

    There must be some serious misconduct for a solicitor to have their name removed from the Roll of Legal Practitioners held by the Supreme Court.

    In this case, Ms Elise Berry's conduct as a family lawyer was so egregious that in 2022 her licence to practice law was cancelled.

    She took no notice of that and continued to practice anyway, resulting in proceedings in 2024 to have her name struck from the Roll of Legal Practitioners.

    This case looks at only a few examples of Elise Berry's misconduct which included:

    a. forging emails, loan agreements, and court orders;

    b. lying to her clients and failing to follow instructions; and

    c. misappropriating client funds.

    Her conduct and commitment to deception was almost too outrageous to believe.

    Thank you to Barrister Sarah Carr for this fascinating case recommendation! This case was so mind-blowing to me that I had to share it as soon as I finished editing the episode.

    CASE: Moradi v Comcare [2024] FCA 812

    Yasmin Moradi was an employee of the Translation Interpretation Service (TIS) within the Department of Home Affairs as a Farsi (Persian) interpreter for periods of various lengths and in different locations.

    Moradi's last deployment was cut short one-month early because of the lack of need for Farsi interpreters.

    Moradi sought compensation for psychological injuries sustained as a result of the early termination.

    Comcare denied liability. Moradi appealed that decision.

  • SUCCESSION: Crypt keeper
    2025/01/05

    CASE: Re Pacella [2019] VSC 170 It is not uncommon to include a provision in your Will that sets out how you would like your physical remains disposed of and your idea of an appropriate resting place.

    Some requests, however, can be quite extravagant and outlandish.

    Francesco Pacella wanted a family crypt. A large crypt that could fit 20 coffins, to be built in a cemetery in Italy.

    He left $200,000 in his Will to be used for this purpose and tasked his nephew Emidio with the job of building the crypt.

    Was such a provision legally enforceable?
