The good, the bad & the ugly: the doctrine of benefits & burdens in property law

Sydney will be presenting a CPD seminar for UNSW Edge on 14th March 2024 titled “The good, the bad & the ugly: the doctrine of benefits & burdens in property law”. The seminar will explore the doctrine of benefits and burdens with respect to a recent NSW Court of Appeal decision and will address questions such as:

• When must one take the good (e.g. the benefit of an easement) with the bad (e.g. a cross covenant to pay expenses)?
• Where can easement disputes start to get ugly?
• What is the effect of the recent decision of Aust-One Investment Pty Ltd  v New World Investments Pty Ltd [2023] NSWCA 22
• What is the spectrum of factual scenarios in which this doctrine can potentially be applied in property law?
• What is the status of the doctrine in Australia?

For some of Sydney’s other CPD seminars including on easements, please see Seminar History.

We look forward to seeing you there.
