Textbook on Land Law

This updated text covers all areas of the modern land law syllabus (and includes discussions of commonhold, changes in land registration, the impact of the Human Rights Act 1998 and recent developments in the law of undue influence in relation to mortgages). The book explains the law in a
clear and straightforward manner, illustrating it by reference to imaginary properties and their owners. Areas of uncertainty or controversy are identified, with suggestions for further reading at the close of each chapter. As a successor to the authors' popular A Practical Approach to Land Law,
this title continues to provide a modern and practical approach to the subject. The new edition takes into account both statutory and case law developments. There are detailed accounts of the introduction of commonhold and also the impending changes in the land registration system under the Land
Registration Act 2002. Discussion of the most recent case law developments are found throughout the text, including consideration of the decisions of the House of Lords in Southwark LBC v Mills, Ashurst Fraser Ltd v Gloucester CC and Pye v Graham and the Court of Appeal judgements in Gillet v
