The end of an era transitioning from native title claims to compensation claims
Emerging future acts jurisprudence Presented by David Yarrow Barrister List G Barristers Preeminent Native Title Junior Counsel Doylersquos Guide 2020
Native Title Compensation Where are we Now Take a specific look at how Governments can and do pass on the liability to pay compensation for particular future acts to third parties including
- The Western Australia Mining Act 1978 which provides that if compensation for native title is payable in respect of the grant of a mining tenement the holder of the tenement at the time of the determination of compensation is made liable to pay the compensation s125A - Mining Act 1992 (NSW) s281B This raises questions of how compensation is to be calculated for a future act such as the grant of a mining tenement which will only suppress rather than extinguish native title but which may cause enormous anguish and loss to the native title holders - Timber Creek native title was extinguished by past acts and the areas of land involved were relatively small Mining activities take place over very much larger areas of land than the blocks that were an issue in Timber Creek

Moving on with Native Title The state of recent and proposed amendments to the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth)
The end of an era transitioning from native title claims to compensation claims
Emerging future acts jurisprudence Presented by David Yarrow Barrister List G Barristers Preeminent Native Title Junior Counsel Doylersquos Guide 2020
Native Title Compensation Where are we Now Take a specific look at how Governments can and do pass on the liability to pay compensation for particular future acts to third parties including
- The Western Australia Mining Act 1978 which provides that if compensation for native title is payable in respect of the grant of a mining tenement the holder of the tenement at the time of the determination of compensation is made liable to pay the compensation s125A - Mining Act 1992 (NSW) s281B This raises questions of how compensation is to be calculated for a future act such as the grant of a mining tenement which will only suppress rather than extinguish native title but which may cause enormous anguish and loss to the native title holders - Timber Creek native title was extinguished by past acts and the areas of land involved were relatively small Mining activities take place over very much larger areas of land than the blocks that were an issue in Timber Creek

Moving on with Native Title The state of recent and proposed amendments to the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth)
The end of an era transitioning from native title claims to compensation claims
Emerging future acts jurisprudence Presented by David Yarrow Barrister List G Barristers Preeminent Native Title Junior Counsel Doylersquos Guide 2020
Native Title Compensation Where are we Now Take a specific look at how Governments can and do pass on the liability to pay compensation for particular future acts to third parties including
- The Western Australia Mining Act 1978 which provides that if compensation for native title is payable in respect of the grant of a mining tenement the holder of the tenement at the time of the determination of compensation is made liable to pay the compensation s125A - Mining Act 1992 (NSW) s281B This raises questions of how compensation is to be calculated for a future act such as the grant of a mining tenement which will only suppress rather than extinguish native title but which may cause enormous anguish and loss to the native title holders - Timber Creek native title was extinguished by past acts and the areas of land involved were relatively small Mining activities take place over very much larger areas of land than the blocks that were an issue in Timber Creek

Moving on with Native Title The state of recent and proposed amendments to the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth)
The end of an era transitioning from native title claims to compensation claims
Emerging future acts jurisprudence Presented by David Yarrow Barrister List G Barristers Preeminent Native Title Junior Counsel Doylersquos Guide 2020
Native Title Compensation Where are we Now Take a specific look at how Governments can and do pass on the liability to pay compensation for particular future acts to third parties including
- The Western Australia Mining Act 1978 which provides that if compensation for native title is payable in respect of the grant of a mining tenement the holder of the tenement at the time of the determination of compensation is made liable to pay the compensation s125A - Mining Act 1992 (NSW) s281B This raises questions of how compensation is to be calculated for a future act such as the grant of a mining tenement which will only suppress rather than extinguish native title but which may cause enormous anguish and loss to the native title holders - Timber Creek native title was extinguished by past acts and the areas of land involved were relatively small Mining activities take place over very much larger areas of land than the blocks that were an issue in Timber Creek

Moving on with Native Title The state of recent and proposed amendments to the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth)
The end of an era transitioning from native title claims to compensation claims
Emerging future acts jurisprudence Presented by David Yarrow Barrister List G Barristers Preeminent Native Title Junior Counsel Doylersquos Guide 2020
Native Title Compensation Where are we Now Take a specific look at how Governments can and do pass on the liability to pay compensation for particular future acts to third parties including
- The Western Australia Mining Act 1978 which provides that if compensation for native title is payable in respect of the grant of a mining tenement the holder of the tenement at the time of the determination of compensation is made liable to pay the compensation s125A - Mining Act 1992 (NSW) s281B This raises questions of how compensation is to be calculated for a future act such as the grant of a mining tenement which will only suppress rather than extinguish native title but which may cause enormous anguish and loss to the native title holders - Timber Creek native title was extinguished by past acts and the areas of land involved were relatively small Mining activities take place over very much larger areas of land than the blocks that were an issue in Timber Creek

Moving on with Native Title The state of recent and proposed amendments to the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth)
The end of an era transitioning from native title claims to compensation claims
Emerging future acts jurisprudence Presented by David Yarrow Barrister List G Barristers Preeminent Native Title Junior Counsel Doylersquos Guide 2020
Native Title Compensation Where are we Now Take a specific look at how Governments can and do pass on the liability to pay compensation for particular future acts to third parties including
- The Western Australia Mining Act 1978 which provides that if compensation for native title is payable in respect of the grant of a mining tenement the holder of the tenement at the time of the determination of compensation is made liable to pay the compensation s125A - Mining Act 1992 (NSW) s281B This raises questions of how compensation is to be calculated for a future act such as the grant of a mining tenement which will only suppress rather than extinguish native title but which may cause enormous anguish and loss to the native title holders - Timber Creek native title was extinguished by past acts and the areas of land involved were relatively small Mining activities take place over very much larger areas of land than the blocks that were an issue in Timber Creek

Moving on with Native Title The state of recent and proposed amendments to the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth)
The end of an era transitioning from native title claims to compensation claims
Emerging future acts jurisprudence Presented by David Yarrow Barrister List G Barristers Preeminent Native Title Junior Counsel Doylersquos Guide 2020
Native Title Compensation Where are we Now Take a specific look at how Governments can and do pass on the liability to pay compensation for particular future acts to third parties including
- The Western Australia Mining Act 1978 which provides that if compensation for native title is payable in respect of the grant of a mining tenement the holder of the tenement at the time of the determination of compensation is made liable to pay the compensation s125A - Mining Act 1992 (NSW) s281B This raises questions of how compensation is to be calculated for a future act such as the grant of a mining tenement which will only suppress rather than extinguish native title but which may cause enormous anguish and loss to the native title holders - Timber Creek native title was extinguished by past acts and the areas of land involved were relatively small Mining activities take place over very much larger areas of land than the blocks that were an issue in Timber Creek

The end of an era transitioning from native title claims to compensation claims
Emerging future acts jurisprudence Presented by David Yarrow Barrister List G Barristers Preeminent Native Title Junior Counsel Doylersquos Guide 2020
Native Title Compensation Where are we Now Take a specific look at how Governments can and do pass on the liability to pay compensation for particular future acts to third parties including
- The Western Australia Mining Act 1978 which provides that if compensation for native title is payable in respect of the grant of a mining tenement the holder of the tenement at the time of the determination of compensation is made liable to pay the compensation s125A - Mining Act 1992 (NSW) s281B This raises questions of how compensation is to be calculated for a future act such as the grant of a mining tenement which will only suppress rather than extinguish native title but which may cause enormous anguish and loss to the native title holders - Timber Creek native title was extinguished by past acts and the areas of land involved were relatively small Mining activities take place over very much larger areas of land than the blocks that were an issue in Timber Creek

Moving on with Native Title The state of recent and proposed amendments to the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth)
The end of an era transitioning from native title claims to compensation claims
Emerging future acts jurisprudence Presented by David Yarrow Barrister List G Barristers Preeminent Native Title Junior Counsel Doylersquos Guide 2020
Native Title Compensation Where are we Now Take a specific look at how Governments can and do pass on the liability to pay compensation for particular future acts to third parties including
- The Western Australia Mining Act 1978 which provides that if compensation for native title is payable in respect of the grant of a mining tenement the holder of the tenement at the time of the determination of compensation is made liable to pay the compensation s125A - Mining Act 1992 (NSW) s281B This raises questions of how compensation is to be calculated for a future act such as the grant of a mining tenement which will only suppress rather than extinguish native title but which may cause enormous anguish and loss to the native title holders - Timber Creek native title was extinguished by past acts and the areas of land involved were relatively small Mining activities take place over very much larger areas of land than the blocks that were an issue in Timber Creek
