Details

Fisher & Lightwood's has been the most detailed and comprehensive book on mortgages. It was first publuished in 1856 and has gone into 13 editions in England. The first Australian edition was published in 1995 and has become the leading Australian work on mortgages. It not only takes from the English edition all the comprehensive work but also thoroughly considers mortgages under the torrens system and securities that exist over various unique types of property that exist in Australia.

The third Australian edition now comes 8 years after the previous edition. It not only deals with new legislation such as the Personal Property Securities Law, but also includes examination of the many cases decided in the last eight years including the significant number on forged mortgages under the Torrens System.

Professor Edward (Ted) Tyler is currently a Senior Assistant Law Officer, Commercial III, Civil Division, Department of Justice, HKSARG. When Professor Tyler started at the Bar in Liverpool, England, in 1963 young barristers were advised to write or edit a book. Professor Tyler chose Fisher and Lightwood, then in its pre-war 7th edition. Butterworths were not keen at first, until John Taylor, Solicitor for the Bradford and Bingley Building Society, also suggested a new edition. Professor Tyler authored the 8th, 9th and 10th editions of the English text. Then, in the early 1990s, by which time Professor Tyler had returned to Australia, but was working in Hong Kong, Justice Peter Young proposed an Australian edition of the book.

The Hon. Peter Young AO is a former Judge of Appeal in the Supreme Court of New South Wales. Prior to 2001, he served as Justice of the Equity Division until 2009, when he was appointed Chief Judge of Equity. Mr Justice Young was admitted to the NSW Bar in 1963. He took silk in 1978.
