Product description
This book provides clear and accessible explanations of the system of property law in New South Wales. It closely examines all key topics including the Torrens system and the movement to electronic conveyancing, strata schemes, leases (including residential tenancies), mortgages, freehold covenants, easements and native title. It also discusses how the values evident in particular theories of, and justifications for, property may be reflected in judicial and legislative elaborations.
The fifth edition has been extensively revised with recent developments, including:
• Torrens title: enforceability of restrictive covenants (Deguisa v Lynn - HCA 2020); due diligence and lodging caveats (Guirgis v Jea Developments - NSWSC 2019); assurance fund (Lincu v Registrar-General - NSWSC 2019)
• Fixtures (SPIC Pacific Hydro v Chief Commissioner of State Revenue - NSWSC 2021)
• Part performance (Pipikos v Trayans - HCA 2018)
• Estoppel (Trentelman v Owners – Strata Plan No 76700 - NSWCA 2021)
• Leases: landlord’s liability for defects (Loose Fit v Marshbaum - NSWCA 2011); tenant’s remedies - landlord’s breach of covenant to paint (Ellis’s Town House v Botan Pty Ltd - NSWCA 2017)
• Easements: when ‘reasonably necessary’ (Gordon v Leven (No 2) - NSWCA 2019); Lopeman v WIN Corp - NSWSC 2020); s 88K easements – compensation (Rawson v Studholme - NSWSC 2018)
