"Developing
with Drainage Just how easy are drainage easements? by Ben Smits
Far
too often a development site is acquired without the developer forming
an appreciation and understanding as to how surrounding landowners will
react to their proposal. There is a fine line between necessity and
burden. In this article solicitor Ben Smits analyses the statutory,
common law and planning procedures adapted to provide three main drainage
remedies for the would-be developer. April 2006

"Caveats
to Protect Interests in Land" by Ben Smits
It is a common
perception that lodging a caveat on a property gives the caveator similar
interests in the property to a registered interest. A caveat can only
prohibit the recording of a dealing to the extent that the recording
would affect the interest claimed in the caveat. Solicitor Ben Smits
analyses various issues that arise in this complex and technical area
of property law, and suggests various solutions to help protect unregistered
interests. November 2004.
"Handling
Redundancy with a Velvet Glove"
It
is easy to think that mustering the courage to inform a long term employee
that they are not needed as part of the team any more is the hard part
of the job done, however sometimes, this can be just the beginning.
In this article, Argyle Partnership solicitor Ben Smits provides step-by-step
detail of the redundancy process. September 2004.
