Law Talk Episode

12th December 2024

Description

In this week’s episode, Sean sought clarity on the legality of speed limit signs during inactive roadwork weekends, which may cause confusion and unintentional speeding. Nick clarified the legal necessity to adhere to the signs regardless of roadwork status. Peter queried about the legitimacy of his previous job being filled after his redundancy two years prior, and was informed by Nick that the window for legal recourse has closed. Dan raised concerns about his rights concerning a persistently defective washing machine, with Nick outlining the consumer's entitlement to opt for a refund or repair under Australian Consumer Law for a major fault. Finally, Rob brought up an uneasy situation regarding a letter from Ford about a potential defect in his car, and Nick recommended seeking assurance from a dealer.
