New Australian edition of classic mortgage text

A new Australian edition of Fisher & Lightwood's Law of Mortgage has just been published by LexisNexis. This is the third Australian edition of the classic English text. The authors of the three Australian editions  have been Professor E.Tyler, the Honourable Justice Peter Young and the Honourable Justice Clyde Croft.  The first English edition (called Fisher on Mortgages) was published in 1856. There have been 13 English editions. The Australian editions are particularly useful because the English editions do not deal with the Torrens system. The third  Australian edition deals with the significant changes made to personal property securities by the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (Cth).  The chapter on the PPSA was written by Clare Langford, the NSW Supreme Court Equity Researcher. This text is a significant  resource for any person practising in property law.

The Mortgagee's Power Sale out soon

Some of my readers have suggested that this blog has quiet of late. The reason is that I have had a deadline to complete the new book which I had to the privilege to work with two brilliant legal minds who were co-authors - and we have been collaborating to  finish the 3rd Edition of   The Mortgagee's Power of Sale.   

Clyde Croft (now The Honourable Justice Croft) wrote the first edition, was co-author of the second edition and is co-author of the 3rd edition. T

he Mortgagee’s Power of Sale will provide an up-to-date,  practical guide to the steps that a mortgagee must take to obtain possession of and sell land and a detailed analysis of a mortgagee’s duty in selling land.

Registered and unregistered mortgages are considered together with the different issues that arise when considering Torrens system and general land.

There is also a comprehensive discussion about a mortgagor’s rights including the lodging of caveats and obtaining an injunction t0 prevent a sale. W

hile maintaining its practical emphasis the book considers recent significant decisions such as Bofinger  v Kingsway Group, MBF v Nolan Ltd and Residential Housing Corporation v Esber.   The book is likely to  be published in late November the launch in January 2013.
