I have benefited enormously from three semesters of seminars for postgraduate research students convened by Professors Terry Carney and Hilary Astor at the Faculty of Law, University of Sydney. I would also like to acknowledge (then) Dean Jeremy Webber and (then) Associate Dean Isabel Karpin for their demonstrated commitment to postgraduate research in the Faculty. The Faculty's annual postgraduate conference and the postgraduate research room have encouraged and facilitated intellectual work and provided a solid sense of community. I would like to acknowledge the important support and friendship of my fellow postgraduates: Kirsten Anker, !an Benjarnin, Katherine Biber, Lici Inge and Kevin Tuffin, without whom the process would have been less interesting and far lonelier. Professor Desmond Manderson has been an enthusiastic supervisor whose rich knowledge of legal theory and philosophy, unfailingly detailed feedback, and personal engagement with the project have proved invaluable. I am very grateful for the substantial time and attention Des has dedicated to this thesis. Or Kathy Bowrey and Or Valerie Kerruish, first inspired, and have since sustained, my interest in property law.

  • Estate Administration: a Course of Seminars
    THE NEW SOUTH WALES BAR ASSOCIATION THE LAW SOCIETY OF NEW SOUTH WALES ESTATE ADMINISTRATION : A COURSE OF SEMINARS – The Protective, Probate and Family Provision Jurisdictions of the Supreme Court of New South Wales SEMINAR NO. 1 : An introductory Overview 26 May 2015 (Revised) by Justice Geoff Lindsay, Justice Phil Hallen, Probate and Protective List Judge, Family Provision List Judge, NSW Supreme Court NSW Supreme Court A PROVINCE OF MODERN EQUITY : MANAMANAGEMENTGEMENT OF LIFE, DEATH AND ESTATE ADMINISTRATION By Lindsay J INTRODUCTION 1. The course of seminars introduced by this paper is intended: (a) to provide an introduction to current principles, practice and procedure governing the protective, probate and family provision jurisdiction(s) of the Supreme Court of NSW; and (b) to encourage discussion of principles attending the administration of estates, before and after death. 2. The seminars are timely, for a variety of reasons: a. the protective, probate and family provision jurisdictions are intrinsically important to the way law is administered, and society functions, in NSW. b. over recent decades there have been fundamental changes to the way the law is administered, and further changes of that order are likely. c. the subject matter of the protective, probate and family provision jurisdictions is not routinely studied at university level, and generations of lawyers have come of age without studying them. 1 d. well-rounded lawyers need something more than passing familiarity with these areas of the law, whatever their preferred areas of practice or academic study. e. in recent years there has been a large expansion in the numbers of people engaging the protective function of government (more through statutory tribunals operating under the supervision of the Court, than through proceedings in the Court) and the family provision jurisdiction of the Court, with the Court’s probate jurisdiction (supplemented by its equity jurisdiction) mediating between them.

  • The Private Taking of Land: Adverse Possession, Encroachment by Buildings and Improvement Under a Mistake
    THE PRIVATE TAKING OF LAND 31 The Private Taking of Land: Adverse Possession, Encroachment by Buildings and Improvement Under a Mistake PAMELA O’CONNOR† In order to harmonise the Australian Torrens statutes, it is necessary to agree upon a common set of rules delimiting the claims that may be made against a registered owner arising from adverse possession, encroachment by buildings, or improvement of land under a mistake. The Australasian and overseas experience of various rules of adverse possession, mistaken improver and building encroachment statutes is analysed, to identify and evaluate the options and outline a recommended approach. FTER a century and a half of operation of the Torrens system in Australia, A there is renewed interest in the harmonisation of the State and Territory Torrens statutes.1 One of the major obstacles to harmonisation is the lack of a common approach to claims against registered owners based on adverse possession and encroachment of buildings. The statutory provisions of the States and Territories are very diverse and have been much amended.2 This article analyses the Australian, New Zealand and overseas experience with different approaches to adverse possession and encroachment, in order to identify trends, to draw conclusions † Associate Professor of Law, Monash University. 1. Each Australian State and Territory, and New Zealand, has its own ‘Torrens’ statute regulating the operation of the system of registered land title within its jurisdiction. The current statutes are Land Titles Act 1925 (ACT), Real Property Act 1900 (NSW), Land Title Act (NT), Land Title Act 1994 (Qld), Real Property Act 1886 (SA), Land Titles Act 1980 (Tas), Transfer of Land Act 1958 (Vic), Transfer of Land Act 1893 (WA), Land Transfer Act 1952 (NZ).
