In this case Adam acted for the defendants in a property dispute arising from the breakdown of a housing project commenced by two couples. Various companies were set up for the purpose of purchasing and developing relevant land and, at the point of Adam’s introduction to the case, there were already three sets of extant proceedings in respect of the failed project. Both couples were, among other things, attempting to restrict the other’s use of (and ability to sell) the land to which they had paper title, but which was arguably part of a wider agreement.
