25.01.2022 A story that highlights the importance of well drafted employment contracts. Companies can rely on them to protect a legitimate and valuable interest - clients and staff. http://mumbrella.com.au/edelman-duo-apologise-to-former-age

25.01.2022 New laws relating to off the plan purchases of property were passed by the NSW Parliament on 17 November 2015. The laws are aimed at protecting purchasers from unscrupulous developers who seek to rescind a contract before the sunset date and then re sell the property at a higher price. It is always important to ensure that you seek legal advice when purchasing an off the plan property so as to ensure you are properly protected.

25.01.2022 This judgment highlights the risks lenders face in failing to properly assess a borrowers capacity to repay a loan as well as its purpose, but nevertheless proceed to lend the money and take security. (Note: This judgment is subject to appeal by the Lender. Rhodes Legal acted for the defendant borrower).

24.01.2022 Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year. We are now closed until 9 January 2012 but are still available to provide assistance for urgent matters in between. Call (02) 9712 1988

22.01.2022 Hi friends. As most of you would know by now, Rhodes Legal merged with another boutique firm Core Legal. The result is a new practice called Lawpoint, based in Newtown. This page will be re-branded to Lawpoint, and I hope we can continue to stay in conversation. Our new details can be found in the About section.

22.01.2022 We highly recommend Shad Hassen from McGrath Leichhardt. Heres some of the reasons why...

22.01.2022 Tough economic times mean that employers are taking drastic steps to avoid lengthy and potentially costly litigation. Engineering business, Enjenia Services, has agreed to make a public apology and repay more than $17,000 owed to one of their staff, rather than endure litigation by the Fair Work Ombudsman, after admitting to terminating his employees contract without paying out his annual leave. They have agreed to take out an advertisement in the Herald and pay nearly thr...ee times the maximum penalty that could have been imposed if the matter had gone to Court. Why? Because litigation would likely have been much more expensive and thats before the fine was imposed! It is always advisable to approach litigation matters commercially and avoid unecessary costs-thats where we come in. We are experienced litigators who are committed to alternate dispute resolution methods. Give us a call on (02) 9712 1988 for a confidential assessment of your matter.

21.01.2022 Getting into the fun spirit of #ferragosto!

19.01.2022 ABCs 7.30 Report last night revealed proposed avenues to stop cyber bullying link below.

17.01.2022 Here is an extreme (and amusing) example of why it pays to have the right real estate agent selling your property. They should have called Patterson Rizzo Real Estate. Oh well, hope the owner at least has a good lawyer!

17.01.2022 Most employees are covered by the National Employment Standards (NES). The NES is comprised of 10 minimum standards of employment including entitlements to leave, notice of termination, redundancy pay and more. All employees should be aware of what they are entitled to and all employers should ensure that they comply with the NES. Contact us to make sure you know your rights and obligations.

17.01.2022 Hello friends - we've moved! As of today, you will now find us at Suite 3, 2 East Street, Five Dock NSW. Our phone details have also changed: Phone:02 8753 0000 and Fax: 02 8753 0055. However, our mailing address (PO Box 1040 Five Dock NSW 2046) remains the same.

16.01.2022 Welcome to Rhodes Legal. We are in the process of setting up our page. Thanks for joining. We look forward to talking with you all soon.

15.01.2022 The Federal Coalition is calling for changes to existing laws or new tougher laws to better protect cyber bullying after Charlotte Dawson was hospitalised this week after she was attacked by Twitter trolls for naming and shaming Tanya Heti, a Monash University staff member who told Charlotte to #gohangyourself. Tanya Heti was subsequently stood down & directed to take leave without pay by her employer for sending the malicious comments to Dawson via Twitter. This incident... clearly indicates how careful employers and employees need to be when using social media sites. Employers should ensure that they have an effective social media policy otherwise, employers may find themselves being held responsible for the actions of their employees.

15.01.2022 The NSWLegislative Council has passed a motion, in a conscience vote of 22 to 16, urging the Federal Parliament to legalise same-sex marriage and come out in support of marriage equality. Until then, various laws give you many of the rights as if you were married. Ask us how they can be used to your advantage.

14.01.2022 Business owners or operators can use Small Business September as an opportunity to network, learn and gain insight into the kinds of services the NSW Govt offers small businesses. Click here for a list of events in metro Sydney http://smallbusinessmonth.nsw.gov.au/Search.aspx

12.01.2022 We are hiring a legal secretary/receptionist. If you know anyone who would be interested, please ask them to email us a covering letter and CV at [email protected] http://www.seek.com.au/job/27011170

12.01.2022 Happy first birthday to us!!! Lawpoint would like to thank all of our clients for their continued support over the last year. We look forward to working with you for many years to come.

09.01.2022 Both employers and employees should heed the warning of FWA when it comes to social media by employees. Last year, an employee of transport company Linfox, Glen Stutsel, was dismissed for making derogatory comments about two of his managers on Facebook. FWA ruled that Mr Stutsels comments about the death of a Muslim terrorist were distasteful but still within his right to free speech and noted that Linfox did not have a social media policy in place and its induction training materials were inadequate grounds to sack the employee. It ordered Linfox to reinstate Mr Stutsel and pay him compensation. The decision was this week confirmed on appeal. A social media policy is an essential tool for all employers in the present age of social media and employees should be aware of the ramifications of their conduct.

09.01.2022 Given all the recent publicity surrounding energy companies, we thought this commercial was quite topical; and a very funny way to end a hectic week at Rhodes Legal HQ. Do you need a lawyer? There are some cases even we cant win!

09.01.2022 Funny? Yes. Binding? No. Some may say the lesson is read before you sign. We say the bigger lesson is dont assume that everything that is signed is binding. Your best bet always seek our advice before you issue or sign a contract! http://www.domain.com.au//cheeky-tenant-edits-lease-agree/

08.01.2022 Is Ferragosto 2011 in your calendar? This fantastic annual local community event attracts around 50,000 people to celebrate all things Italian. Its a great day out for friends and family - hope to see you there! (It may be hard, given the crowd, but it would be nice) http://www.clubfivedock.com.au/article/ferragosto2011

04.01.2022 Here is an example of the changing face of workplace relations and the impact of social media on both employers and employees. This could have similar applications in Australian workplaces.

03.01.2022 Looking forward to seeing the Inner West locals at Ferragosto this Sunday. Have a great weekend folks.

02.01.2022 For all the mobile phone using drivers out there, TAKE NOTE! From 1 November 2012, the current mobile phone use rules will change. Currently, the rules allow a driver to hold a phone whilst driving but not make a call whilst doing so. Under the new rules, drivers are not allowed to hold or touch mobile phones other than to pass them to a passenger. Texting, video messaging, online chatting, reading preview messages and emailing are prohibited. You are allowed to use a mobile... phone for making or receiving a call, changing songs or using it as a GPS device as long as the phone is fixed in a secure mounting. Motorists caught holding a phone while driving will be penalised three demerit points and fined $298; $397 if in a school zone.

01.01.2022 As only we lawyers could say it. Looking forward to seeing you all again on 16 January 2017 when we reopen.
