  This new edition of Property Law builds upon the highly successful first edition, providing a modern and comprehensive text. Several chapters have been rewritten to take account of the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996. Full consideration is also given to the Treasure Act 1996 and Land Registration Act 1997, as well as the most recent case law. Property Law provides full coverage of basic property principles, permitting land law principles to be situated within this broader context. Particular attention is given to the role of possession, for both land and chattels. Trusts and equity are explained so far as these are relevant to property issues. The approach adopted thus ensures that the book is suitable for courses which deal with property law in this way, as well as for more traditional land law courses. Land law topics are widely covered, but with an emphasis on issues central to most courses on this subject. The book goes well beyond a description of the rules, however, seeking rather to get to the heart of the analyses used by the courts and to provide an understanding of their effect within a mature and complex area of law. There is a full discussion of key cases and the ways in which they articulate the fundamental principles of property law, enabling students to obtain a firm grasp of the subject and to apply these principles to particular problems and examples. Roger J. Smith is Fellow and Tutor of Magdalen College, Oxford. He has written widely on land law in legal periodicals and has had extensive experience in teaching the subject.
