Primary Securities Ltd v Willmott Forests Ltd [2016] VSCA 309

Australian Executor Trustee Ltd v Suncorp Life and Superannuation Ltd [2016] SADC 89

Privacy Amendment (Notifiable Data Breaches) Bill 2016

Summary

The two recent Local Court judgments of Assessor Olischlager demonstrate a shift from the Court’s previous attitude of protecting the helpless insured, to understanding the prejudice suffered by insurers at the hands of repairers and often the insured themselves due to a lack of co-operation during the motor claim process.

Summary

Property with a value of $23,329,764 was leased by a lessor to a lessee. The lessor then lost that property altogether when the lessee had administrators appointed to it. The recent court decision in OneSteel¹ reiterates that effective registrations under the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (‘PPSA’) are vital.

Summary

Summary

A cause of action based on section 588FA does not necessarily arise in the jurisdiction where it becomes complete. Rather, the Court will look at the series of relevant events to determine where, in substance, the cause of action arose.

That which is attacked under section 588FA is the disposition of property (eg a payment) in respect of an unsecured debt or claim. A debt may be secured by a number of means. These include the equitable lien available to a purchaser who has made payment but has not received title to the subject property.
