I recently had the opportunity to work with Alexandra Coyle, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the outset, she demonstrated exceptional professionalism and a deep understanding of the legal issues involved which was very reassuring. I felt well-informed throughout the process, and she worked tirelessly to ensure a successful outcome for me. I’m glad I reached out to this firm. Thank you for making a challenging situation so manageable. I highly recommend Alexandra for anyone seeking reliable and empathetic legal assistance.

Good morning – just wanted to send a quick email off and let you know how impressed (my wife and myself) have been with Emma – We have bought a couple of properties up there over the last year or two – we’re from Wagga Wagga, NSW and are relocating up there at the end of this year. Emma has been absolutely fantastic to deal with and we couldn’t be happier!!! It makes things really easy when you have someone on the ball like she is – so yeah, just a quick ‘Well done’ – thanks so much, we really appreciate it and keep up the good work!

Jarrod

Thank you again for your services, I cannot fault you and your team. You are always such a pleasure to deal with and make what would normally be a stressful time, quite the opposite.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a breach of contract?

It occurs when a party fails to perform an obligation under the contract without a lawful excuse, such as not delivering goods or services on time or at all.

Can I terminate a contract if the other party breaches it?

You may terminate if the breach goes to the heart of the contract or the contract allows termination for that breach; minor breaches usually entitle you to damages but not termination.

What damages can I claim for breach of contract?

You can claim losses that naturally flow from the breach, such as replacement costs, lost profits and sometimes interest, but you must take reasonable steps to mitigate your loss.

Are exclusion clauses enforceable in Queensland?

Limitation or exclusion clauses can be valid if drafted clearly and fairly, but they may be void if they breach consumer laws or are considered unconscionable or misleading.

How does the Australian Consumer Law impact contract disputes?

Consumer guarantees protect purchasers of goods and services; terms that seek to exclude these statutory guarantees are generally unenforceable.
