Results Legal Founds Scholarship Program to Support Regional QLD Students

As former students at Mackay State High School, Karl and Sarah Hill were delighted to return to award recipient winner, Pushti Shah with her scholarship certificate. 

“My wife, Sarah, and I are big believers in equal opportunity.  Everyone should have access to quality education and the ability to pursue their dream career path.  In our experience though, kids graduating from regional state high schools must often tread a harder path in pursuing a career in law, commerce and business.  This is particularly the case in families that have limited financial resources.  This is why we established the Hill Family Scholarship,” said Karl Hill.

“We couldn’t have been more impressed with the calibre of candidates for the scholarship, and the recipient winner. It is a credit to the students and the school.”

This program will provide financial support to regional Queensland students seeking to pursue a career in the fields of law, accounting, or commerce.

Specifically, the Hill Family Scholarship Program will contribute $5,000 each year to assist with expenses such as accommodation, textbooks and equipment, day-to-day living, travel costs and work placements.

Results Legal Chief Operating Officer Carla Wall said the scholarship not only helps to close the financial burden many regional students face but is also a wonderful opportunity to empower young students to work hard and dream big.

“I believe there are four essential ingredients to empowering women, and men – education, self-confidence, exposure, and independence. This scholarship ticks all those boxes and demonstrates the values we hold dearly here at Results Legal,” she said.

Karl and Sarah Hill said they looked forward to watching Pushti’s career continue to rise throughout university.

“This scholarship is so well deserved, and we are honoured to help Pushti achieve her full potential, now and into the future,” said Karl Hill.

82 years on, the ‘wives special equity’ law is still a valuable case to call on

82 years on, the ‘wives special equity’ law is still a valuable case to call on

On 15 September 2021, the District Court of New South Wales handed down a judgment in Hume Plasterboards v Best Interiors[1] which reaffirmed the ‘wives’ special equity’, otherwise known as the Yerkey v Jones[2] defence. Even though the ‘wife’ (or de facto partner) of the company’s director signed a guarantee, the successful use of the defence meant that she was not liable for the debt incurred.


Important Lessons for Guarantors

Important Lessons for Guarantors

In the recent Court of Appeal case of Rowe v Metroll SA Pty Ltd[1] a guarantor (the appellant) was unsuccessful in arguing that he was not liable to the respondent under a guarantee that he signed in 2018. His two primary grounds of appeal were around the law of agency and the wording of the guarantee.

The case provides valuable lessons for businesses to ensure they have an effective credit agreement and guarantee and indemnity in place, and to individuals when executing a guarantee and the obligations contained within it.
