Description

This course aims to provide the student with a knowledge of contract, equity and property law and cognate statute law governing the conduct of commercial land dealings from the negotiation stage through to completion of contract. The course goes beyond a study of the standard form contract for sale of land used in New South Wales and treats topics of national interest and importance. Where a study of state legislation is made, the New South Wales model will be used although reference may be made, for comparative purposes, to the legislation in other states.
