NSW Home Building Act 1989
Part 2: Contracting for and doing residential building work and specialist work – NSW Home Building Act 1989

NSW Home Building Act 1989 s7C-7D: ss 7C and 7D No arbitration clauses and no interests in or caveats over the owner's land

A contract term or other agreement requiring a dispute under the contract to go to arbitration is void. A contract gives the licence holder no legal or equitable interest in land, any term purporting to create one is void, and no caveat may be lodged over such an interest. The only exception is a charge over the land on which the work is done, in favour of the contracting licence holder, securing money a court or tribunal has already ordered the other party to pay; over Torrens title land the charge requires that party to be the registered proprietor and lapses when they cease to be.
