PPSA Litigation

Securing personal property for credit is an integral part of Australian business. It is now nationally regulated by the Personal Property Securities Act (PPSA).

Background Texture

What Is The PPSA?

The PPSA provides for the obtaining of a ‘security interest’ over most tangible and intangible property (except land and certain excluded property) and is accessible online at any time. Generally, a security interest is given to secure payment or performance of an obligation under a:

  • Deed;
  • Contract;
  • Agreement; and/or
  • Lease.

The PPSA was a significant law reform that came into effect on 30 January 2012 and created a national register called the Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR). The PPSR now records over seven million consumer and commercial registrations and is a useful tool for consumers and businesses alike.

How is the PPSA relevant to you?

The PPSA is important to most businesses, and is particularly important to businesses which:

Offer goods or services on credit or delayed settlement, contract with other businesses, lease goods and/or hire goods.

  • Identification of security interest
  • Registration of security interests
  • Priority of interests under liquidation/ receivership
  • Priority of interests under voluntary administration
  • Selling, altering, damaging or changing property subject to a security interest
