Synopsis
The case study involved a client who had become subject to freezing order over property assets and funds transferred into bank accounts from a spouse.
Problems
The spouse died and his family pursued these assets and funds alleging undue influence of the client over an elderly partner who the family alleged had been viciously taken advantage of. The amounts that had been given went into multi millions and the action had been handled by a several lawyers.
Solution
After three years of the action proceeding, the client sought Shabana Ali & Associates help and assistance and having reviewed the issues and noted the parties were still only dealing with disclosure. We held discussions with the claimants lawyers and advised that a counterclaim for substantial losses would now be brought if the claim was not dropped. We were pleased the claimants then sought to compromise. The recovery of all assets and wealth was completed within 6 months of our involvement.
