- Title
THE QUIT RENT SYSTEM IN COLONIAL NEW SOUTH WALES.
- Authors
Obe, Enid Campbell A. C.
- Abstract
The article focuses on a study which evaluated the significance of the quit rent system as a source of revenue for the colonial government in New South Wales. It discusses the English of Tenures 1660 and depicts the authority of the Crown to reserve quit rents in grants of lands as essential to the creation of a tenurial nexus between grantor and grantee, which was challenged in Attorney-General (NSW) v. Brown case. It looks at the administrative function in the collection of rents, the remission and apportionment of quit rents and the legal action for enforcement of quit rents, citing the Real Property Limitation Act 1833 provisions. The study revealed the failure to justify the significance of the quit rents as a source of revenue for the colonial government.
