Hear about some of the most interesting Australian legal cases, including deceased estates, forged Wills, financial abuse, divorce and family law disputes, professional and medical negligence, and any other case that has enough drama to be worth discussing. I'm a solicitor specialising in Wills, Estates & Elder Law, so I kinda know what I'm talking about and will try to make it all make sense. This podcast is absolutely not legal advice or a dull legal lecture, but is more a legal soap opera! If you love true crime, but need a break from all the murder, this is the podcast for you!

CRIME: The straw man duality

CASE: R v Sweet [2021] QDC 216

Kym Anthony Sweet was charged with committing two criminal drug offences. He argued that he couldn't be charged because he consists of two separate entities:

There was the real-life flesh and blood man that goes by the name Kym-Anthony and then there is a straw man or dummy corporation which goes by KYM ANTHONY SWEET.

And the real person, Kym-Anthony, was not subject to the laws of Queensland. Therefore, he argued, the criminal charges against him should be dismissed.
