Foundations of Business Law 3
Part A
(A Q 1)
Winter v Nemeth 1 was heard in the New South Wales’s Supreme Court before Justice Campbell.
It is a civil case and is also concerned with the execution of an agreement amongst friends2.
The New South Wales’s Supreme Court is the highest court of New South Wales in the
Australian Court hierarchy. It has unlimited authority over the civil matters within the state3.
(A Q 2)
It is a matter of civil case. In the present case, the plaintiff has to bear the onus of proof by
evidencing her case through a preponderance of the proof4.
In a preponderance of proof, the burden of proof is accomplished when the plaintiff convinces
the court that there are greater chances of more than 50% pertaining to the truthiness of the
claim.
(A Q3)
In 2010 it was promised by the defendant to the plaintiff that if the plaintiff rendered clerical
services pertaining to the family court proceedings of the defendant, then the defendant would
purchase or provide funds to purchase a small house in the suburban area of Sydney's Double
Bay.
