Patricia Lane

Patricia Lane is a Sydney barrister and a senior lecturer at the University of Sydney, specializing in property law. She has gained recognition for her expertise in complex property issues, particularly those involving Old System title, which has become increasingly rare in contemporary legal contexts due to the predominance of the Torrens title system. Lane's insights into property law have been valuable in navigating unusual cases, such as the recent situation involving an 'orphan parcel' of land in Balmain, where she explained the nuances of adverse possession and the historical context of land ownership in New South Wales.
