Alexander v Ghaddar; Adhami v Vrkic

In this case, the dispute arose between Leesa Alexander and Randa Ghaddar, with additional claims made by Ghaddar against Vrkic and Adhami. The proceedings took place in the Federal Circuit Court of Australia, where the primary issues related to personal injuries sustained by Alexander due to an incident involving Ghaddar. The legal issues before the court centred on the assessment of damages for the personal injuries and the liability of the parties involved. The court had to determine the appropriate compensation payable by Ghaddar to Alexander and assess the validity of Ghaddar's claims against Vrkic and Adhami.

The court examined the evidence presented regarding the circumstances of the incident, the extent of Alexander's injuries, and the financial implications of those injuries. It also considered Ghaddar's counterclaims against Vrkic and Adhami, determining whether they were relevant and warranted in the context of the proceedings. The court meticulously analysed the submissions and evidence from both parties, applying relevant legal principles to arrive at its decision.

After thorough deliberation, the court ruled in favour of Alexander, awarding her the sum of $4,927 against Ghaddar. The court found that Ghaddar was liable for the injuries sustained by Alexander and that the awarded amount was just compensation for those injuries. The court also directed the Registrar to relist the matter for submissions on costs. This decision provides clarity on the liability of the parties and the extent of the compensation payable, setting a precedent for similar cases in the future.
