The Court’s Approach to Clumsy & Careless Drafting - An Essential Guide for Property Professionals

Introduction

This webinar will consider what happened when drafting goes wrong or when the meaning of a phrase is unclear?

It will review how a court or tribunal handle ambiguous, clumsy, or downright careless drafting and look at what can it do - and what won’t it do?

And what should you be advising your client?
