The opposing team&#8217;s doctor witness was well prepared when giving evidence while our second barrister, Chinmay, was a standout who presented a strong closing argument in which he linked court precedent to the facts of the case.<\/p>\n<p>The other team came out ahead top on points and won the round, but our team clinched a symbolic victory by winning the case as the negligence claim was dismissed.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-8030\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/06\/IMG_0484-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Fort Street Mock Trial team faced off against St Maroun&#8217;s last night in their second round where they played the role of the defence team in a negligence case, representing Westfield in response to an incident where a woman slipped in the food court and injured herself.
