What is meant by "the Crown" in legislation?
I am looking at the NSW Dividing fences act and it says that
"This Act does not operate to impose any liability, or to confer any rights, with respect to dividing fences on:
(a) the Crown"
The neighbouring property is owned by the NSW Land and Housing Corporation (basically, housing commission) and I was wondering if they were liable for half the cost of a replacement fence, or if I will have to pay for the entire cost. The neighbouring property has a house on it and a housing commission tenant living there.
