Thank you to Walsh Accountants and Tom Walsh for the generous delivery of brownies to our office. A very welcome surprise and greatly appreciated by the whole team.

We genuinely value the strong working relationship we share and the way we collaborate to achieve practical outcomes for our mutual clients. It’s always a pleasure working alongside professionals who understand that good partnerships, like good baking, are all about getting the balance right.

We did intend to take a photo before they disappeared… but our Commercial and Corporate Law Partner, Daniel Birch, exercised first rights and the evidence quickly diminished.

Thanks again to the Walsh team: we look forward to continuing to work together.

Working as a commercial litigator, most of my work involves large corporations, Supreme and District Court disputes, contractual claims, insolvency proceedings, and complex property and construction matters.

But every now and then, a matter crosses your desk that you might not usually take on. Sometimes, the story behind it compels you to step in.

This was one of those cases. Our client had been issued with a Notice to Leave her home. We challenged it on the basis that it was retaliatory. Before our application could be heard, the landlord sought urgent orders for termination of the tenancy and a warrant of possession.

Last week, following our submissions to strike out the application, the landlord withdrew their application. The Tribunal ordered a further three-month tenancy for our client and directed the landlord’s agent to remove all breaches from her rental profile. In turn, we will withdraw our client’s application to set aside the Notice to Leave and her appeal. Our client can now secure a new rental property without the shadow of incorrect breaches against her name, which would have impacted her ability to find a new rental property.

Overall, a great outcome, and a timely reminder that sometimes the matters that matter most are not about the size of the dispute, but the impact on people’s lives.

From 1 August 2025, a new mandatory seller’s disclosure regime will apply to all residential and commercial property sales in Queensland under the new Property Law Act 2023 (Qld).

Before the buyer signs the contract, sellers must provide:

A Seller Disclosure Statement; and, Prescribed certificates (e.g. title search, plan, pool compliance, etc.)

If these disclosures are not made, the buyer may have the right to terminate the contract at any time before settlement if the disclosure documents are incomplete, incorrect, or misleading, if it relates to a material matter the buyer wasn’t aware of.

This is a significant shift in Queensland conveyancing and places real legal risk on sellers.

Our property law team can guide you through the new regime, ensuring documents are prepared correctly and delivered to protect your transaction from avoidable contract fallout.
