Property Law Act 1958: Consultation Paper

By 2009, it was generally believed that the Property Law Act 1958 had become a cumbersome document, difficult to navigate, complicated by numberless amendments, and containing references to outdated concepts and practices. It needed to be streamlined and brought up to date.

The review the Commission was asked to undertake that year divided into two projects: a review of the Property Law Act itself and a specific review of easements and covenants.  This consultation paper focussed on the Act and was published in April 2010.
