Introduction Part 7:  Jurisdiction of the Land Court and the Resolution of Disputes Section 81:  Clauses in leases as to resolution of disputes
269.This section is an anti-avoidance measure. It prevents the parties to an SLDT, LDT or lease for grazing or mowing from restricting their right to refer relevant disputes to the Land Court for determination. Any contractual provision that attempts to do so, except a valid reference to arbitration or other determination under section 78(1) of the 2003 Act, is of no effect.
