Joseph Wheeler is being sued in the Brisbane Supreme Court for A$665,000 on the grounds that he breached his contract in relation to the clients. Mr Wheeler left Shine in May and went on to set up his own operation, International Aerospace Law & Policy Group. 

Denies claims 

Mr Wheeler denies the claims. He said that the clients had chosen to move to him of their own free choice 'having regard to whether they considered [Shine] was suitable or had the capability to continue to handle their claims either in Australia or an overseas jurisdiction'. Source: Lawyers Weekly
