Our Trailblazing Reputation
Teakle Ormsby Conn have been instrumental in arguing a number of high profile cases which were trailblazing at the time.
Our successes in these leading cases has added to our reputation as a firm who will fearlessly fight for the rights of our clients.
So strong is this reputation that other Sydney law firms will refer their injured clients to us, because they know that our expertise we will best serve their clients needs.
This reputation is maintained by the dedication that we put into building up a good working relationship with our clients.
An example of this is seen in the leading case of Lynch which established an unborn child's right to sue in relation to injury suffered in the before birth.
Another notable case where we protected the interests of our clients was when we successfully sued both the Doctor and the Medical Defense Union in the Crawford case. This tragic situation arose out of the Chelmsford hospital deep sleep activities.
In that case the Medical Defense Union attempted to change their rules to refuse to indemnify the Doctor in question, with the aim of preventing our client from obtaining suitable relief. In fighting for our client's rights we took the case to the High Court and won the client's full entitlement.
In a further example, we acted for Mr. Worthing in a ground breaking case that went all the way to the high court. Worthing's case was instrumental in exposing a gap in the law as it applied to commonwealth and state lands and determined that if an injury occurred on commonwealth land the state laws did not apply. In order to solve this loophole the Commonwealth Places Act was introduced and mirrored in all states.
