'All Good Things Must Come to an End': Terminating Co-Ownership Under the 'Old' Partition and Sale Rules
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Despite its benefits, co-ownership of land creates problems where relations between the parties have soured, or one person simply wants to extricate themselves from this arrangement. The remedies of compulsory partition and sale allow one joint tenant or tenant in common to terminate co-ownership against the wishes of the others, by seeking a court order to this effect. Throughout parts of the common law world, this has be en based on nineteenth century English legislation namely the Partition Act 1868, the key elements of which remain in force in Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory. This article provides an up-to-date analysis of the law on compulsory partition and sale as derived from the 1868 Act and analogous provisions, drawing not only on Australian cases, but on frequently overlooked decisions from courts in both parts of Ireland and in parts of Canada, as well as ‘old’ English judgments on the 1868 Act.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
