QUESTION 12

1. "Wendy's Delights" is a family-run restaurant in Brisbane. The restaurant chef, Dillan, one day forgets to clean the kitchen utensils which are used to prepare food for customers. Azil, a customer who had eaten at the restaurant the night before, becomes seriously ill as a result of the unwashed utensils. Azil wants to sue Dillan for $800,000 in compensation.
2. Outside work, Dillan has been having issues with his neighbour, Jillian. Dillan is upset about the trees which Jillian has planted on Jillian's property. The trees overhang onto Dillan's land and blocks the sunlight from entering his house. Dillan wishes to take steps to quickly resolve the matter with Jillian but is under financial pressure and cannot afford a lawyer to represent him.
3. In relation to the restaurant incident, explain how Azil's claim would progress through the court hierarchy, including all appellate options.
4. In relation to the tree dispute, explain how the matter is best resolved without resorting to litigation or alternative dispute resolution measures. Please provide reasons for this.
