Background

About Nicholas Parsons

I act for clients in a broad range of civil disputes in New South Wales and federal courts as well as in interstate and overseas courts through the use of local agents. Due to my knowledge of Indonesian law and language, a significant proportion of these cases have been for Indonesian clients or have involved issues of Indonesian law. My experience representing corporations, small businesses and individuals extends to the following types of cases:* equitable claims including breach of fiduciary duty, Barnes v Addy claims, proceedings to remove trustees, claims of wilful default, claims of breach of confidence, and seeking declaratory relief to recognise constructive and resulting trusts;* contract and related commercial disputes including goods sold and delivered, quantum meruit claims, money had and received, breaches of the Australian Consumer Law, disputes over implied terms of merchantability and fitness for purpose, misleading and deceptive conduct, and breaches of contract;* property-related disputes including breach of contract for sale of land and recovery of deposit, resisting claims for specific performance, disputes about off-the-plan contracts and sunset dates, applications to extend the operation of caveats on land, purchase price resulting trusts over parcels of land;* succession disputes including disputes about the administration of deceased estates, particularly where the estate is alleged to have assets overseas, and family provision claims;* insolvency disputes including applications to set aside statutory demands and winding up applications for failure to comply with statutory demands;* employment-related disputes including breaches of contractual and award entitlements and national employment standards;* motor vehicle damage claims;* retail tenancy disputes;* enforcement of judgment debts, setting aside default judgments, preliminary discovery; and * criminal and disciplinary matters.
