Did you know that lodging a caveat to protect a family law claim over property is not allowed? When a relationship breaks down, parties often want to lodge a caveat over a property when it is held in the name of the other party (or a company). The intention is to prevent the property from being disposed of before there has been a final division of assets. Josephine Sergi and Natalie Stella recommend urgent law reform in this area as a caveat would be an inexpensive and useful tool to protect property in a family law dispute. #familylaw #caveat #lawreform

BOO!!!! There are less than 8 weeks until Christmas!  Employers who plan to close their business over the Christmas period should consider whether they are required to give notice of a temporary shutdown period to employees. This also applies if an employer’s client will be shutdown resulting in employees not being required to work during the closure period. Questions?

On the morning of 25 October 1993 I put on a beautiful new Dolce & Gabbana tie (the last tie I ever bought), washed my car (at an automatic car wash of course) and with much excitement drove to my first day of work at the best new law firm established in Melbourne on that particular day. I was late, of course. My partner Jonathan Kenny was early. Despite Jonathan’s best efforts to keep my enthusiasm levels elevated, upon my arrival to our shabby chic office (a most flattering description) I couldn’t help but think “what the f%&k had I done?” But bless JK. He did everything he could to make me feel better. He swatted flies in my office, he tried to repair my broken down desk, he worked so hard to get the cord of the land line to reach my desk, and he even made me my morning coffee. Nescafe. Instant. By 11.30 I was preparing my resignation speech! Yet here we are 31 years later. Feeling good, and grateful. To read more... https://lnkd.in/gHw32x3n

After years of heavy taxing that has stifled investment in Victoria, the new temporary stamp duty concession for off-the-plan purchases of apartments, units and townhouses marks a positive shift in welcoming investors back. For the next 12 months, investors, companies, trusts and individuals can reap the benefits of the broader off-the-plan concession which allows all purchasers of off-the-plan residential properties in strata subdivisions to calculate and pay stamp duty only on the land value at the day of sale rather than the full purchase price. Henry Kalus, Lisa Fowler and Matthew Mechkaroff explain. #propertydevelopment #stampduty #propertyinvestment
