1. Dilemmas …..
What would you do?

2. Starter ….
What kind of
dilemmas does this
person encounter
every day?
How does he/she
manage?

3. Today’s dilemma….
You will either
be defending…
Or you will be
prosecuting...

4. The dilemma.
Meet Mr. and Mrs. Evans.
20 years ago, they were
married and Mr. Evans told
his wife that she need not
work as his job provided
more than enough money
for both of them.

5. “ I just want you
to be happy
Darling and help
raise our
children” said
Joe Evans to his
wife Claire.

6. Every month, Joe wrote a
cheque for Claire and she
provided him with all the
warmth, food and affection.
The two children grew into
happy, wonderful people.

8. 2012…..
Joe came home
early from work.
He found a letter
in the letterbox.

9. He wandered into the
garden to read the letter.
Although it was
addressed to Mrs. C.
Evans, he had no reason
to think it was private.

11. Joe’s first thoughts !
“ Wow ! What a
surprise…Claire has
bought a house !...
She must have
come into an
inheritance….”

12. Later that afternoon…
Joe told Claire how happy he was that
they now had TWO houses.
Claire poured him a glass of wine.

13. “ I’ve got something to tell you…”

14. What could it be ?

15. “It’s not OUR
house, Joe….it’s
mine !”

16. Joe replied….
“ Where did
you get the
money from
to buy
another
house?”

17. Claire explained that…
She had been saving and
putting aside a little bit each
month from the money that
Joe had given her.
With the savings she had
bought a house in her own
name.

18. Joe exclaimed……
“ That was my
money !
The house
rightfully belongs
to me…..”

19. Claire calmly replied…
“ I provided
you and our
children with
all they
needed…….
If I managed to
save money, it
was because I
was a good
housewife.
The house is
my reward.
SEE YOU IN
COURT !”

20. Dilemma…
Whose
house is
it ?

21. What do you need to consider?
Write down the points that
need discussing.
If you think the house is
Claire’s go and join her group.
Do the same if you think the
house belongs to Joe.
Prepare your arguments.

22. So, can we hear the counsel for Mr. Evans ?

23. Now the counsel for Mrs. Evans.

24. Summing up….
2 minutes
for each
counsel
please.

25. Who does the house belong to ?
The jury is made
up of ‘a few good
men and women’
They must now
leave the room
and decide.
The decision may
not happen for a
while….!
Joe because….. Claire because……
