The cooling-off period can be waived by a buyer but only by the buyer following a very strict procedure as set out in the Act. A buyer must obtain from a solicitor a certificate in the approved form, where the solicitor declares amongst other things, his or her independence of the real estate agent, that they are not receiving any benefit under the transaction, and that the solicitor has explained the effect of waiving the cooling-off period and purpose and legal effect of giving the certificate to the buyer. The famous case of Donoghue v Stevenson was decided in 1932 and has influenced the law of many countries, including Australia.
Abortion law in Australia is state law, and the law varies considerably from one jurisdiction to another. Currently in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland abortion is still covered by the Criminal Codes. However this matter is under review in Victoria where the Victorian Law Reform Commission has been charged by the Premier with the task of reforming the state’s abortion law and, hopefully, removing abortion from the Crimes Act As abortion practitioners in Queensland, we believe strongly that reform is also urgently needed in this state. And always, ALWAYS, seek specific legal advice from your lawyer or accountant so that you don't make any significant mistakes.
