Welcome to the first edition of Bell Gully’s new regular Commercial Property publication.

This update is designed to provide you with an overview of current legal developments and issues that are likely to affect businesses and individuals operating in and around the commercial property industry.

Written by lawyers with particular expertise in their subjects, the articles are designed to provide a "heads-up" of key topics, rather than a comprehensive legal summary.

In this issue we look at:

  • the debate between landlords and tenants over repairs versus replacement

  • soil contamination and legal responsibilities

  • developments in overseas investment regulation; and

  • key decisions from the courts and legislators which affect the industry.

We welcome your feedback, as well as input on key issues that you would like us to cover in future updates. Please feel free to contact members of the team listed in this update.
