- A CHILD CUSTODY DISPUTE
A child custody matter ensued after our client failed to return the minor after holidays back to the mother since the parties had separated. The matter came up for hearing at the children’s court. As advocate for the defendant, I requested the parties to try mediating the matter to avoid a long and costly legal battle. Parties agreed. The mediation brought to the fore the fears of the father to leave his daughter to live with the re-married mother and a step-father within a one bedroom house. It emerged that the mother also had the same fear but did not want to lose her child.
The mediation process resulted in an agreement between the parties that the father could have custody of the child on condition that the mother gets unlimited access and also gets to keep her during school holidays. We recorded this in court and the matter was settled by consent.
- LANDLORD- TENANT DISPUTE
The tenant was issued with an eviction notice to vacate but declined to do so and continued occupation without paying rent for 4 months. The Landlord alleged that the tenant had too many guests all the time and who consumed liquor and drugs which annoyed other tenants. It emerged that both parties wanted to end the tenancy but the only quagmire was the date, the landlord insisted on 16th February while the tenant wanted 20th February. Parties finally agreed and tenant vacated on 18th February and Landlord got possession and refunded tenant’s deposit.
