Online CPD Module

Caveats continue to be highly litigated, with already over seventy cases to date in 2014. A thorough understanding of the right to caveat, as well as when the courts are satisfied with the caveat, will assist you when advising your clients.

This module will consider caveats against dealings and will deepen your understanding of who can caveat and under what circumstances. The process of challenging and defending caveats will be discussed, along with a review of recent cases and their related processes ensuring you are up to date with how the courts currently handle caveat disputes.

Please contact us if you use a dial up internet connection.
