I have some questions with regard to the Uncollected Goods Act 1995 (NSW) so that I can understand which property law is relevant in the circumstance.
1. In sections 19-22, does the 'value of goods' refer to the accumulated total value of all of the uncollected goods or to the value of each individual item?
For example, if I have 10 uncollected items valued at $60 each, is the value of the goods $600 (10 x $60) and s22 applies, or is the value of the goods just $60 on the per item basis and s20 applies?
2. If it is the accumulated total value of the uncollected goods, does the Uncollected Goods Act still apply if the value exceeds $5000? If not, can you please refer me to which legislation or law is applicable where the value of uncollected goods exceeds $5000?
3. If the uncollected goods are as a result of a deceased estate, does this have a further bearing on which legislation or law is applicable?
Many thanks for your assistance in this matter.
