New version of Duncan’s Commercial Leases in Australia

A new version of Duncan’s Commercial Leasing in Australia has just landed on my desk.

This edition (the 6th) is a similar size to previous editions, which is relatively small when compared to other notable texts in this area.

The new edition follows the same format as previous versions.  It contains a precedent clause under most topics, followed by a discussion of the law relevant to that particular clause.

Past versions of the book have generally been directed towards practitioners who are preparing and settling leases and this version appears to be the same. However, I have found those versions useful in dispute resolution as well.

There is a new chapter on green leasing, which looks like it will turn into a growth area.

The book is published by Thomson Reuters and is available now.
