Armando’s story

Armando is a retiree and had drawn down on his superannuation to pay some lawyers to help him start Supreme Court proceedings against a company who had scammed him out of his life savings. Unfortunately, the lawyers had to stop representing Armando when his funds ran out. Armando struggled to keep representing himself in the proceeds because the legal issues in his claim were very complex.

The Court ordered the parties to attend mediation under the Scheme, and Armando was referred to LawRight. One of our panel barristers agreed to represent Armando at the mediation, where they negotiated an agreement for the defendant company to pay Armando some compensation and have the Court proceedings dismissed.

Thanks to the Scheme and the assistance we were able to finally resolve a stressful dispute that had been in court for three years.
