I actually had the pleasure of only having one working brake on landing in a Cessna 182. It's virtually a non-event as long as you don't panic. I had the airplane stopped in less than 2000 ft. As far as departing with only one working brake? IMO It'd better a really good reason, even with a ferry permit. I'd call a mechanic. Risk assessment tells me few things are worth the risk in that situation.
