Description

In this week's Law Talk episode, A woman named Nicole sought advice about a tenant who overstayed their lease, despite being given notice, and Nick explained the formal eviction process through the Magistrates Court. Another caller, Andrew, expressed frustration that an Asian airline repeatedly rescheduled his flight without offering proper communication or recourse. Nick suggested that the airline's terms might protect them, but also advised Andrew to check his travel insurance policy for possible coverage of the inconvenience. Matt then questioned the legality of a telco's policy that withholds payment for the first 100 kilometres of travel when he works as a contractor. Nick mentioned that this could potentially be challenged as an unfair contract term. Lastly, a caller named Mick reported that a betting agency allowed him to exceed his set daily deposit limit, which could be a breach of contract.
