& Where to Get Them - Author: Jamie Durie (2011), HarperCollins Publishers. Living Design - Authors: Jamie Durie and Nadine Bush (2016), Lantern Australia Publishers. 2012–2017 company lawsuit As of 2012, Durie has been engaged in a legal battle for a breach of contract claim brought by a disgruntled former business manager and licensing agent, Michael Curnow. Curnow sued Durie after Curnow's services were terminated. At the start, Durie declared he would fight the breach of contract claim worth more than AU$750,000 brought by Curnow, who worked in the Mona Vale office of Durie's landscape and interior design business, Durie Design.
