A Transaction That ‘Has It All’: Case Study
Sometimes a transaction just "has it all"! Sydney will discuss a recent case run by her in which several conveyancing complications arose, including:
- When is it appropriate to issue a notice pursuant to 66M Conveyancing Act and to claim an abatement in the purchase price?
- When is it possible to rescind a contract pursuant to 66L Conveyancing Act and what consequences flow from such actions?
- When is it appropriate to apply for an order for specific performance?
- How do the implied terms under the conveyancing legislation (Conveyancing Act 1919 (NSW). s. 52A(2)(b) and Conveyancing (Sale of Land Regulation) 2017 (NSW) (Conveyancing Regulation), cl. 9 and Schedule 3,_Pt .1 at cl. 1(d).) apply in practice and what are the consequences?
- When is a vendor bound by the representations made by its agent?
- What remedies are available under the Australian Consumer Law?
