Licensing has been a focus topic in our team lately and for good reason. If you’re a residential builder or a specialist trade in NSW, then no ticket, no play.
While the facts of the decision in Leto v Secretary Department of Customer Service [2026]NSWCATOD 26 (Leto v Secretary) are obviously very specific, an insolvency in an applicant’s trading history is frequently a barrier to licensing and is frequently an inducement to do whatever is necessary to avoid insolvency, so as to retain a licence or the future prospect of one.

专栏“担保面面观”开篇语
《民法典》的重要改革理念之一是功能主义担保观，并据此将所有权保留、融资租赁、保理等非典型担保作为“其他具有担保功能的合同”统一纳入担保体系。在规则新设统合之下，实务操作中的权利实现路径、混合担保中的顺位问题、与既有法律制度的衔接等难题亦随之浮现。鉴于此，笔者发起“担保面面观”专栏，旨在立足立法本意，结合实务案例，系统梳理担保领域的规范逻辑与适用要点，为市场主体理解规则、防控风险提供实务镜鉴。
引 言
《民法典》及《最高人民法院关于适用<中华人民共和国民法典>有关担保制度的解释》（以下简称《担保制度解释》）已基本确立了所有权保留的担保权构造，由此衍生的进一步问题是，如何与混合担保、合同解除、执行、破产等制度衔接适用，这已成为当前实务界的热点争议。其中部分问题系我国立法混合继受所导致的特有问题，在比较法上并无成例可借鉴。鉴于此，笔者将结合新法修订与最新司法判例，围绕六大争议、十二个子项问题展开，以期抛砖引玉，求教方家。
