About the Webinar

In the absence of agreement to sell a jointly owned property, co-owners are able to have their dispute adjudicated through an application to the Supreme Court under the Conveyancing Act. Nevertheless, this can be a costly and technically complex process. This session will examine the perils and pitfalls of the forced sale application process and assess proactive steps that can be taken to avoid going down this path, including:

  • The requirements of a s66G application
  • A discussion of the costs of an application and liability for payment
  • The mechanics of the application process
  • Will the court always grant an application?
  • Establishing inequitable grounds and opposing a s66G application
  • Can the parties contract out of the application of s66G?
  • Assessing unequal contributions to the property value
  • Cases including Ambrus v Buchanan [2022] NSWSC 1628; Myers v Clark [2018] NSWSC 1029
  • The value of co-ownership agreements and drafting tips
