Order Description
This is a research assignment on the key principles of land law. You are required to answer two (2) questions, both of equal value and both with a 1000 word limit, to
a maximum of 2000 words in total. In preparing your answers, you are required to read extensively (a reference list is provided further below). Please use size 12
Times New Roman font.
Question One: (1000 words max)
Critically evaluate the following extract from the judgment of Blackburn J in Milirrpum v Nabalco Pty Ltd (1971) 17 FLR 141 at 171 as a statement of the nature of
proprietary interests:
“I think that property in its many forms, generally implies the right to use or enjoy, the right to exclude others, and the right to alienate. I do not say that all
these rights must co-exist before there can be a proprietary interest, or deny that each of them may be subject to qualifications.”
You should address each of the three rights listed by Blackburn J. You may also wish to refer to other characteristics of property. This question does not require you
to consider Native Title.
Question Two: (1000 words max)
With reference to the decision in Walsh v Lonsdale (1882) 21 CH D 9 discuss the differences between legal and equitable interests in land. You should include specific
examples in your answer.
