Khouzame v Reozone Pty Ltd (No 2)

The appeal was brought by the plaintiff, Khouzame, against the decision of Reozone Pty Ltd to withdraw their legal representation. The case was heard in the Supreme Court of Queensland. Khouzame's original action was dismissed by the trial judge who found that Khouzame had not satisfied the requirements to establish a cause of action. Khouzame appealed this decision, arguing that the trial judge erred in dismissing their case and that the trial judge should have allowed Khouzame to amend their statement of claim to adduce further evidence.
