ABSTRACT
The doctrine of notice has seen something of a resurgence in recent years, after it had been consigned to the footnotes of many land law courses. The reason for this resurgence was a series of decisions of the House of Lords in which Lord Browne-Wilkinson placed the doctrine of notice 'at the heart of equity'. The doctrine of undue influence is a long-established equitable principle which prevents a person from relying on her common law rights where those rights were created as a result of some undue influence being exercised over another person. Before coming to the modern law on undue influence in relation to the law of trusts and of property. The role of the doctrine of notice in most land law courses is limited to the issue of protecting equitable interests in unregistered land as centred on a number of cases on the rights of persons in actual occupation.
