Description

In this week’s episode, Shane called in with a dilemma about his desire to sell his half of an industrial property co-owned with a friend. Nick advised that Shane, as a 50% owner, has the right to petition the Supreme Court for an order to sell the property under the Property Law Act. He recommended Shane seek assistance from a property lawyer, specifically naming David McMullen. Gary had a question from someone he has spoken to called Kevin Townley, which referred to a boat collision and the challenges in acquiring CCTV footage due to privacy regulations.
