Personal Property Securities and the Construction Industry
By Belinda Montgomery, Leonard McCarthy and Sandra Steele, K&L Gates, Sydney
It seems hard to believe but come 30 January 2016, the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (Cth) (PPSA) and the register it established will have been operating for 4 years. The PPSA has introduced far reaching conceptual and practical changes to Australian law. If you are part of the construction industry, to protect your rights, you need to ensure that any registerable interests are registered on the Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR).
