Episode Synopsis


Caveats are powerful—but they’re not a free pass. In this episode, Simon Bennett sits down with OMB litigator Samuel Layani to unpack what a caveat actually is, when you truly have a capable interest, and why getting it wrong can trigger tight deadlines, lapsed rights and even damages. From loan agreements and charges over land to consent caveats and the 14-day notice to commence proceedings, they break down the moving parts in plain English.You’ll hear how caveats are being used (and sometimes misused) as commercial leverage on developments and disputes, what that 90-day/three-month clock really means, and the critical step people forget after filing. Whether you’re trying to secure a debt or remove a roadblock on title, this conversation gives you the strategic lens—without giving away all the moves.Listen now and get practical guidance from OMB’s property and litigation teams.
