In case of Torrens Ltd, Appeal in the court that held postponement of right in regard of
redeem for 40yeards of mortgage. In another way, it also enforceable as there was no specific
provision for purpose of repayment in the Money bags (mortgage). Where court consider such
Case and upheld right of mortgagor to redeem property even through there was specific towards
the early repayment. According to real property act, it has imposed to ‘tie’ on the Fred mortgagor

Furthermore, it also renewed, extended when (mortgagee) Mr Money bags has been accepted the
interest. According to the conveyancing act which operated as prohibition on the right of
mortgagee, exercise on specific contractual power in which not being prohibited automatically. It
should be considered the suitable time to re-fix the payment option. Through act, it has strictly
constructed to specify their legal process which mainly applicable in the repayment approach.
Penalties and early redemption
A penalty is consider as sort of payment in additional that which already performed
exercise under agreement or contracts by default. By using conveyancing act, it has apparently
contradictory judgement and also extracting the consistent line of authority. In some situation, it
seems to be limited under certain own facts. In order to apply the penalty clauses within contract

represented as accurate estimate of possible loss by Mr Bank Bags. If 10% interest reduced to
9% so that arise the condition of breach and loan interest repayable immediately otherwise, it
