Sticks & Stones is a case about a complex family dispute over a range of commercial, relationship, and psychological issues that involves three siblings and their mother. Following the mother's diagnosis of advanced osteoporosis, the three children have to make decisions about the future of a jointly owned family business, the family home, and the future care arrangements of their mother. The siblings' complicated relationships with each other add to the complexity of the situation. From a managerial point of view, the interesting question is: how can this dispute be managed in a consensual and interest-based manner despite the conflictual personal relationships between the parties?
