| Course Description | This course will discuss the theoretical nature and justification of property and the important features of the Australian common law and statutory provisions relating to real and personal property, with emphasis being given to the former. The principal aim is to acquaint students with the fundamental proprietary interests and to teach students how to apply the relevant laws and concepts to practical situations where such interests are in dispute. The following topics will be considered: the theoretical nature and justification of common, private and public/state property; ownership and possession of real and personal property; adverse possession and limitation of actions legislation; limits to land (including fixtures, the ownership of airspace and subsoil, land boundaries and encroachments); estates and tenure; legal rights recognised in land (including bare and contractual licences; mortgages; co- ownership); future interests and equitable intervention; creation and enforceability of equitable interests, including assignments of property; the Torrens system of land title registration; leases; easements; and restrictive covenants. |
