Land law (or the law of real property) plays an important role in Australian economic, social and political life. Australian real property law draws common law principle from historical English real property law; but over the last 100 years, the Australian law of real property law has developed its own unique character. This is particularly evident in two key aspects of modern Australian law: the Torrens system of land registration (which forms a large part of this unit of study) and the developing law of Indigenous title to land at common law, and under the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth). This unit considers the following topics: systems of title to land; the Torrens system of land registration; priorities between competing interests in land; co-ownership of land (joint tenancies and tenancies in common); leases and licences; mortgages, and easements. The course introduces statutory regulation of land use and considers the law of covenants in that context. The unit aims to develop problem solving skills, and skills in interpreting complex statutory provisions in the Real Property Act 1900 (NSW) and the Conveyancing Act 1919 (NSW).
