Preface This book is designed to be a comprehensive analysis of the law throughout Australia relating to all aspects of commercial leases. Unlike residential leases, which in most jurisdictions are now codified by residential tenancies legislation, commercial leases are still primarily governed by the common law. This is the case even where these leases are subject to retail or shop leases legislation in the various jurisdictions as that legislation tends to supplement and rely upon the common law rather than provide anything in the nature of a comprehensive legislative code. Consequently, the majority of this book consists of an analysis of common law principles. The substance and application of common law principles has, in a number of instances, been modified by legislation other than the retail or shop leases legislation. The book also examines this legislation, with particular attention being given to the Australian Consumer Law. The retail or shop leases legislation is considered in separate chapters, jurisdiction by jurisdiction. This legislation has, in many instances, been the subject of major revision since the second and third editions of this book and has also been the subject of significant developments in the case law. Consequently, this edition has been substantially revised in its treatment of this legislation and its developed and developing case law. There have also been significant developments in the common law since the third edition in 2009, and these are dealt with comprehensively. In particular the treatment of the construction of leases and agreements for lease, equitable estoppel, set-off, leases and mortgages, rent and rent review and the contractualisation of leases, with particular reference to repudiation and its acceptance, has been revised and expanded. This was also the case with the second and third editions as these are areas of active development in the law of landlord and tenant. This fourth edition of Commercial Tenancy Law, like the three previous editions of this work, has grown out of its predecessor edition. The first

edition, in turn, grew out of and revised and expanded the second edition of Brooking and Chernov, Tenancy Law and Practice — Victoria, which had, in its two editions (Butterworths, 1st ed, 1972; 2nd ed, 1980), itself grown out of earlier works by Anderson and Brooking and its predecessor Tenison-Woods and Anderson; all of which were influential and much used by, mainly, Victorian practitioners. As a result of this process, Commercial Tenancy Law has a long pedigree and one which dates back — now around 70 years — to the publication of Landlord and Tenant Legislation of Victoria (Butterworths, 1948) by Ms Mary Tenison-Woods and Mr Kevin Anderson (later a Judge of the Victorian Supreme Court). Again this work was built upon and expanded in Landlord and Tenant (Butterworths, 2nd ed, 1958; 3rd ed, 1959) by Anderson and Brooking. As indicated, this work, again expanded, became Brooking and Chernov. This book, like its previous editions, continues to owe an enormous debt to the work, scholarship and practical experience of The Hon Mr Justice Brooking and The Hon Justice Chernov AC (both of whom were formerly Justices of Appeal of the Victorian Supreme Court and in the case of Justice Chernov formerly the Governor of Victoria), and their predecessors, whose writings continue to form a significant part of this work. However, this book, unlike Brooking and Chernov, but like its previous editions, is written as an Australian book and deals with legislation in all states, applicable Commonwealth and national scheme legislation (such as the Australian Consumer Law and the Corporations Act) and also the common law. For reasons of space, we have been unable to cite the full text of the relevant legislation on each point in all states. Where there is common legislation throughout the states, our approach has been to cite the text of the New South Wales or Victorian provision and to give the citation to the equivalent provisions in the other states (and in some instances, the territories). Also, unlike Brooking and Chernov, as in the previous editions, this work omits all reference to residential tenancies legislation and cases relating to the lease of dwelling houses except where they are relevant to general principles also applicable to commercial leases. This book contains a detailed analysis of the present law. As with the previous editions, it will be of particular interest and assistance to counsel,

solicitors and corporate lawyers throughout Australia. It will also be of considerable interest and assistance to everybody affected by or involved with commercial leases; in particular estate agents, land agents, academic lawyers and undergraduate and postgraduate law students. It is hoped that this edition will continue to provide a useful source of reference for law students enrolled in property law and be an essential text for students enrolled in specialist landlord and tenant courses at the LLB, LLM and JD level currently offered in various Australian law schools. We have made every effort to ensure that this book is up-to-date at the time of writing. The law is stated as available to us on 31 August 2017, except where a later date is specified in the text. Updates on recent developments in commercial tenancy law may be obtained regularly at www.roberthaypropertybarrister.wordpress.com. We all wish to thank Professor Adrian Bradbrook for his enormously significant work and contribution as author and editor of the preceding three editions of Commercial Tenancy Law: all of which contributes to the content and depth of this work. We also wish to thank Ms Amy Hando, Ms Tracie Stewart and Mr Thomas Egan for their assistance with research, checking and the preparation of tables for this edition. Finally, we all wish to thank the staff at LexisNexis, particularly Ms Georgina Gordon, Commissioning Editor — Texts, for their work in steering this fourth edition though all the developmental and final stages of publishing.

Date of Amendment

Current Position*

1 August 2010

Repealed and not replaced, the legislature being of the opinion that the legislation was redundant.

1 August 2010

Not replaced, but as noted by Garde J in Asian Pacific Building Corporation Pty Ltd v Sharon-Lee Holdings Pty Ltd [2013] VSC 11 at [24], distress for rent remains abolished in accordance with s 14(2)(a)–(d) of the Interpretation of Legislation Act 1984.

s 28(2)

1 August 2010

Replaced by s 154A of the Property Law Act 1958, which now gives the tenant the option to pay the costs of repair, rather than the tenant having a specific obligation to repair.

Pt IV

1 September 2012

s 12

Pt IVA

1 September 2012

Repealed and not replaced (but see, generally, various Court Rules). Repealed and replaced by Pt 4.2 of the Australian Consumer Law and Fair Trading Act 2012 (ACLFT Act), except for leases prior to the ACLFT Act which are still governed by Pt IVA of the LL&T Act (ss 9,

56(5) ACLTF Act).

(Continued) Definitions of ‘goods’ and ‘tenant’

s 42A

1 September 2012

Not replaced in the ACLFT Act, but see ss 54 and 56(1) of that Act.

Landlord may remove and store goods

s 42B(1)

1 September 2012

Not replaced in the ACLFT Act.

s 42B(2)

1 September 2012

Replaced by s 59 of the ACLFT Act, which requires an owner of goods left behind who was not an occupier to pay the charge before recovering the goods (and see s 69).

1 September 2012

The method of disposal or sale of goods that the landlord must follow now depends on whether there is a dispute regarding the charge (s 58 of the ACLFT Act), whether the value of the goods is low, medium or high (ss 60, 61 and 62 respectively; see definitions, s 3(1)), and whether the goods are perishable (s 65). Sections 66 and 67 dictate the content and means of notice that must be given to the owner of the goods.

1 September 2012

Replaced by ss 55 and 73 of the ACLFT Act; s 73(3) provides that where any proceeds of sale are less than the storage and disposal costs, the shortfall is recoverable as a debt. Section 69 empowers the court to determine the quantum of the charge.

1 September 2012

Replaced by s 75(1) of the ACLFT Act, which removes the express requirement that the buyer purchases in good faith and removes all reference to burden of proof. Section 75(2) deems that a landlord who disposes of goods in accordance with the ACLFT Act acquires good title.

1 September 2012

This section is replaced by s 59 of the ACLFT Act, which does not grant a non-tenant owner of goods specific rights in the proceeds of the sale of the goods.

None

1 September 2012

Section 74 of the ACLFT Act requires the landlord to prepare and make available certain records relating to the goods and their disposal/sale.

1 September 2012

Repealed and not re-enacted in other legislation, but premises which were prescribed premises within the meaning of Pt V of the LL&T Act continue to be excluded from the application of the Residential Tenancies Act 1997 (see s 14(3) of that Act).

Pt V

provides an optional procedure for the disposal of goods left behind under the supervision of the court.

for where express provision is made in the ACLFT Act (which is noted in the above table), provisions of the Landlord and Tenant Act will continue to have effect on leases entered into prior to that Act’s repeal to the extent that those provisions confer rights and impose liabilities. As was said in Free Lanka Insurance Co Ltd v Ranasinghe [1964] AC 541 at 552 ‘the distinction between what is and what is not a “right” must often be one of great fineness’; a statement which is also true of liabilities. For more detail on this fraught distinction: see Interpretation of Legislation Act 1984 (Vic) ss 14–16; D C Pearce and R S Geddes, Statutory Interpretation in Australia (LexisNexis, 8th ed, 2014) [6.9]–[6.12], [6.14].
