ABSTRACT

Land law holds a certain fascination for the student: usually one of dread. We do not deny that it can be a difficult subject, and students face conceptual and practical problems of a kind not always found in other branches of the law. The fact that the subject is often composed of statutory provisions overlaying ancient principles of common law and uses a vocabulary that can be, to say the least, unusual does not make things easier. However, with the correct approach – both as to how the subject is studied and revised and how questions are tackled in examination – many of the perceived problems and pitfalls can be identified and avoided. The new edition of this book is designed to help you to find and develop that approach with consequent success in your examinations.
