	As mentioned in last month’s Update, a final report on the statutory review of the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (Cth) (PPSA) has been completed and will soon be published. We anticipate that the final report will make some significant recommendations as to the simplification of the PPSA including changes to the current laws regarding the taking of security over leased assets. Kott Gunning partner, Louis van Aardt, will provide an update on these recommendations including the implications for businesses when the report is made available. Join the discussion on Kott Gunning’s “PPSA Discussion Forum” on LinkedIn and share your views.
