Property
Property work is technical and time critical, combined with time and cost pressures and involving a client’s most valuable asset, the stakes are high.
Alert
Retrospective changes proposed for residential ‘off the plan’ sunset clauses
The Sale of Land Act Amendment Bill 2019 (Vic) (the bill) recently introduced into parliament contains several important consumer reforms to the Sale of Land Act 1962 (Vic) (the SL Act). It is very similar to the bill of the same name that was introduced in September 2018 that lapsed prior to the Victorian state election.
This version was last updated on 3 December 2020 from a previously published alert from 4 September 2018.
Conveyancing
Claims arising from conveyancing are regular and consistent in nature. Time and cost pressures, in what is a very technical area of the law, can result in simple errors.
GST
GST is not simple but there are some easy steps you can take to help protect you and your clients. Claims usually occur during the sale of commercial or new residential land or the sale of businesses.
Leases
Claims relating to commercial and retail leases account for around 3% of the total claims LPLC sees each year.
Building and Construction
Building and construction claims are seen in commercial, litigation, leasing and conveyancing with litigation and conveyancing having the most claims.
