I am a junior non legal student (currently studying a legal course) and have been presented with a homework question about an employee that comes across as being confident, mature, ready to tackle any task.
- This employee usually handles family law matters however is filling in for conveyancing paralegal who is away for 2 weeks.
- Senior partner asks paralegal for s149 certificate for sale of property however this paralegal does not have a clue where to search for such a document.
- Paralegal becomes emotional, then goes onto internet to search and after 40 minutes thinks that she has understood what was required of her and prepares a cheque requisition form for $400 and thinks that this amount debited from client account should cover costs.
