Description
The Society welcomes back Mr Peter Sise, Special Counsel, Clayton Utz, to deliver this session into the 2024 Employment Law Conference. This presentation will address the ethical and practical problems that can arise when a lawyer's opponent makes a mistake that can advantage that lawyer's client.
It will also look at the relevant professional conduct rules and several cases that provide guidance in this area.
Participants can takeaway the following from this session:
- The opportunity to take advantage of an opponent's error can arise in three main areas: court proceedings, negotiating agreements and the disclosure of documents.
- Taking advantage of an error may be enticing if it presents an advantage to your client, but it can have professional consequences (a breach of the relevant professional conduct rules), practical consequences for your client (such as an expensive dispute with the opposing side if they try to correct the error) and reputational consequences (it may undermine co-operation between practitioners, which is important for resolving dispute).
