LEGAL AND EQUITABLE PROPERTY RIGHTS
Abstract from Federation Press
This book provides a precise understanding
of legal and equitable property. John Tarrant
sets out a unifying theory of legal and equitable
property rights and shows how property rights
fit within private law. Tarrant shows how legal
and equitable property rights fit within private
law by demonstrating that private law only has
two purposes: first, to protect personal integrity;
and second, to protect private property (our
things) through the availability of a range of
private law remedies. In simple terms, private
law provides remedies for people and for their
tangible and intangible things in interactions
with other legal persons.

CONTRACT AND THE AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW
Abstract from Federation Press
Contract and the Australian Consumer
Law analyses the way the Australian Consumer
Law has modified contract law. In particular,
provisions in the Australian Consumer Law in
relation to consumer guarantees for goods and
services, unfair contract terms, misleading or
deceptive conduct and unconscionable conduct
are considered and analysed. The book discusses
recent cases on these topics and extracts guiding
principles from the legislation and the cases.
The text is intended to be read from cover
to cover so as to present a birdseye view on the
operation of the legislation in the context of
contract law.
