Description
Land law can be an intimidating subject and for that reason students need clear, accurate and comprehensive materials from which to work. These Lecture Notes aim to provide just that. Each chapter follows the traditional patterns adopted by most land law courses and every effort has been made to present both the law, and the policy behind the law, in a clear, readable and concise manner. However, points of difficulty have not been ignored and liberal reference is made both to statute and case law. For many, of course, land law is a port of call on the journey to professional exemption and it is the intention that these Notes will speed the travelling. The Notes commence with a valuable introduction about the general scheme of modern land law, a knowledge which is so vital but so often simply assumed to exist. Subsequently, the major topics are considered in turn, with emphasis on the law as it is today. Each chapter also considers proposals for reform and there is no lack of criticism of the law where this is necessary for a proper understanding of the subject. The result is a comprehensive picture of the complicated jigsaw that is modern land law.ISBN: 9781874241645
