Beilby Poulden Costello recently filmed a new TV commercial at the BPC offices. Keep a sharp eye out for the dashing Courtenay Poulden and Barry Beilby helping some clients out with their questions…
Many of our clients would have seen our partner, Courtenay Poulden appear on Today Tonight recently. Courtenay was being interviewed following a decision of the Supreme Court which accepted our argument that our client was entitled to substantial compensation as a result of negligent dental treatment.
It is good to know that sometimes the injured person is the winner even when the insurer is prepared to take the issue all the way to the High Court. We were recently successful in proceedings before the New South Wales Court of Appeal acting for the father of a young person who suffered a severe brain injury as a result of a motor vehicle accident.
Our partner, Courtenay Poulden, was recently selected to represent the English Rugby Union team as its legal counsel during its tour of Australia. This appointment followed a number of recent appointments for Mr Poulden in the world of rugby. He was one of the five panel lawyers appointed during the 2003 World Cup in Australia. During that tournament he appeared for the electrifying Fijian winger, Rupini Caucauribuca, following an incident in the World Cup opener against France.
We are pleased to announce that the New South Wales Court of Appeal recently overturned a decision of the District Court resulting in a great outcome for one of our clients. The case took over 14 days to hear. We argued on our client’s behalf that there was inadequate and misleading road signage on the Monaro Highway, near Bombala.
