Perez de la Sala v Perez de la Sala (No 5) [2026] NSWSC 556 – what is Proprietary Estoppel and why did this interlocutory application fail?

Proprietary estoppel is a promise that becomes enforceable. A common example is: “If you stay and work in the family business, I will leave you the farm.”

If the person reasonably believes that promise, spends years working for low pay and gives up another career, it may be unfair for the promisor, or their estate, to keep the farm without recognising the promise.

✓ Achieved 100% first-time resolution across 31 PEXA support requests
✓ Settled 64 workspaces using auto calculation

June was our busiest month, with 21 properties settled—and behind each one was a client counting on our team to keep their matter moving.

We are proud to support our clients through these important milestones with experienced advice, careful attention to detail and clear communication from beginning to end.

Thank you to our clients, agents, brokers, and industry partners for placing your trust in us.
