Question 1 from the 2008 exam.
 

Bob is the registered proprietor of Greenhectare and Yellowhectare. They are 2 blocks
of land next door to each other. Both are small blocks of approximately 500 square
metres. However, Greenhectare overlooks the water and is conservatively valued at
$1.2ml. By contrast, Yellowhectare faces the mountain and is valued at $400,000.
Both blocks are put on the market at the same time. Choi is the purchaser of
Greenhectare; Indiri is the purchaser of Yellowhectare. Susie is the solicitor for both
Choi and Indiri. Susie, in completing the transfer documents makes a number of
mistakes which sees Indiri registered as the owner of Greenhectare and Choi
registered as the owner of Yellowhectare. These mistakes are realised when both
parties turn up at the blocks with their respective surveyors and architects to discuss
building plans. Not surprisingly, Indiri, (a student of land law) can't believe her good
fortune. Conversely, Choi is less than impressed. It should also be noted that Choi is
only 17 years of age. Legislation passed in 1990 states that contracts made with
minors are void. New solicitors are appointed to act for Choi and Indiri respectively.
Whilst the solicitors are exchanging letters with each other, with Choi's solicitor in
the process of drafting a caveat, Indiri transfers Greenhectare to her partner, Alfred,
for his birthday. Alfred, also a land law student then registers the title. Alfred thought
that this was a lovely birthday present from Indiri, but did have an uneasy feeling
about the transaction. Notwithstanding this, he still continued to settle and then
register. Alfred is now registered proprietor of Greenhectare, Choi the registered
proprietor of Yellowhectare. Susie has left the jurisdiction.

Choi asks you to sort out this mess. He has paid $1.2mI and he is the registered
proprietor of a block worth $400,000. He wants to become the registered
proprietor of Greenhectare. Please explain how he will do this.

 
BLAKE DAWSON SWOT VAC TUTORIAL, TORTS A 2009:  

Question:

The Animal Welfare League suspects that David is unlawfully capturing native wildlife and smuggling them out of the country. To get evidence, Rachel sneaks onto David’s roof whilst David is out and installs a hidden camera. Angela also goes to David’s house to ask him some questions about activities. Although David initially opens the door, when he finds out that Angela is from the Animal Welfare League he shuts the door and tells her to get off his property. Angela, however, continues to stand at the door and yells questions at David through his window. The Animal Welfare League also asks Michael to take photos of David’s house from his helicopter.

When the Animal Welfare League thinks it has sufficient evidence of David’s activities, it organises a blockade of David’s house. David’s house is totally surrounded by members of the League. The Animal Welfare League also sets up bright lights to shine into David’s windows.
