  Land Law expertly strikes a balance between depth of coverage, comprehensiveness and accessibility in providing a clear and concise introduction to this rich area of the law. Using accessible language to illustrate the key concepts needed to understand land law, it focuses on the underlying principles to map conveniently onto undergraduate and GDL courses in the subject. Learning is supported by summary boxes, diagrams, exercises and further reading, and further enhanced with an interactive web site containing test banks and quizzes, audio files summarising key issues, real world scenarios and animated illustrations. In addition, case updates will be provided to remain abreast of new developments in law.
