Ari Katsoulas | Barrister

Ari Katsoulas appeared for the successful defendants in the Supreme Court of New South Wales in the case of Wheatley v Salmon [2022] NSWSC 395.

The proceedings concerned a claim brought by the Plainitff claiming an enititlement to the entirety of the title of a property located in the Northern Rivers Region of New South Wales. The Plaintiff claimed that the words “I will buy you a house” were spoken and gave rise to an enforcable promise that a property subsequently purchased by the defendants in their own name was imposed with a trust in her favour.
