Australian Consumer Law -
While we do not provide legal advice, we have extensive experience conducting independent technical inspections and forensic assessments to support claims made under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). My role is to objectively assess vehicle condition, failures, workmanship, and compliance with manufacturer specifications, and to provide clear, evidence-based findings that may assist parties in determining whether issues relate to acceptable quality, fitness for purpose, durability, or workmanship. These assessments are commonly relied upon by consumers, insurers, and legal representatives to support negotiations, dispute resolution, and tribunal or court proceedings where ACL obligations are in dispute.
Unbiased Professional Opinions.
Working with Insurers, Loss Adjusters and Legal Firms we provide expert opinions on the underlying factors that may have contributed to the loss or failure of the machinery, plant and equipment. Analysing all evidence to ascertain condition, service history, manufacturing defects or negligence.
Whether our client is a large multi-national company or a private individual, we treat all of our clients with the same level of professionalism and provide unbiased opinions.
