Over the past 6 months I have made several presentations to client law firms, and delivered a CPD session for Foleys List, on the basics of caveats.  The presentation lasts about 40 minutes and takes an overview of the subject, accompanied by a more detailed paper to be read afterward.

A copy is available here:  Caveats – Basics – Handout – WP

The presentation is aimed at practitioners who deal with caveats on an occasional basis but are not frequently involved with litigation regarding them.  The paper covers the following broad topics:

• What is a caveat
• Registrations systems as a medium for caveats
• What is a caveatable interest?  Common examples of what is and is not.
• Caveats as a statutory injunction
• Why not just Register anyway?
• Lodging a caveat
• The time for registration
• Removal – lapsing notices and applications to a Court
