Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2015
Public bill · Private Member · Introduced
It would restore certain mortgage protection rules for a particular class of mortgages, even though those rules had been altered or repealed before, and it would allow some legal cases to be postponed. It would also prevent a 2013 change from being read in a way that takes away a person’s right to a full court process before being evicted from their main home, instead of a quicker summary process. This matters because it affects how easily people could lose their homes and how much court protection they get before eviction.
Formal long title
Bill entitled an Act to provide that irrespective of the language of the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act 2013 that certain statutory provisions apply to mortgages of a particular class notwithstanding the repeal and amendment of those statutory provisions by the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act 2009, to provide for the adjournment of legal proceedings in certain cases; that section 1 of the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act 2013 be amended in so far as it can be interpreted, that it retroactively deprives a right or entitlement of any person to a plenary process for the determination of whether they stand to be evicted from their principal private residence, and by implication substitute a summary process for eviction; and to provide for related matters
