Disclaimers:

At no point are these video lessons intended to provide any sort of legal advice. These are for educational purposes only!

These vidoes are intended to represent the law at the time of recording to the best of my ability. If there are any updates and/or mistakes, I endeavour to make sure these mistakes are corrected. Where you find a mistake, comment under the video and I will check and make the appropriate amendments.

The reality of law is that it is an ever changing and deeply complex subject. As such, mistakes and updates are inevitable. I feel that this it the best approach for this kind of educational content, given its static nature.
