With land tax increasing and its consequential effect on rent, more and more tenants are turning their minds to the question of whether the Retail Leases Act 2003 (Vic) applies to their leases.
A few month ago, fellow barrister Ben Kelly and I presented a paper on this topic to the Legal Practitioners Liability Committee. Given the ongoings interest in the topic from readers of this blog, I thought it would be useful to provide a link to the webinar and the paper on the LPLC website here.
There have been some other recent developments in this area that I will post about shortly.
