*** FULLY BOOKED *** C2 Recovering commercial property debts through the courts (FREE Lunch & Learn)

1 CPD Point, Face-to-Face (Approval Code SLPL18)

This workshop focuses on circumstances where a landlord is left with no option but to seek recovery of commercial lease debts from a tenant or guarantor through the court system, including the considerations and practical steps involved at different stages in the course of recovery proceedings. This face-to-face workshop will:

• identify commercial lease terms to look for when considering whether to commence recovery proceedings;
• provide an overview of the different Western Australian courts and their jurisdictions;
• explore the steps in the different court proceedings, with a particular focus on summary judgment;
• explain the obligation to give discovery and how it applies to agents and their books and records;
• discuss evidentiary issues, including when an agent may be required to attend court to give evidence; and
• explore recent case law.

This workshop will be particularly relevant to commercial property managers (whether in the retail, industrial or office sectors).
