• Summary:"The Boundaries of Australian Property Law" offers a unique perspective on real property law in Australia. As the overwhelming majority of land interests in Australa now fall under the Torrens title system, this book's particular focus on the development and operation of the Torrens system in Australia is both timely and welcome. Written for students and scholars of property law in Australia, this informative and academically rigorous book includes carefully selected statutory material and case law from all Australian jurisdictions, as well as the United Kingdom. The general law system is also discussed and referred to when necessary, to give context and depth to the analysis of real property law. This book addresses the prescribed Priestly 11 requirements for a subject in property law and it will also be a useful resource for practitioners, policy makers and judicial officers."--Back cover
