  In Property Law: Cases and Materials, Roger Smith brings together in one volume those cases and materials that a property law student is most likely to require to support a course in the subject. Law Commission reports and other materials supplement the extracts from cases and statutes which lie at the heart of the book. The author outlines the general principles of each topic, keeping the text deliberately light on references and minor points of detail, in order that the key principles are brought to the fore. In addition to drawing attention to the grey areas and controversies revealed in the extracts, the commentary and questions of varying difficulty link and critically discuss the various extracts, setting them in context. The result is a portable library of key sources which students will find readily digestible and navigable. This book is structured along the lines of, and is an indispensable companion to, the author's own textbook on this subject (Property Law, also in this series), but could be used with any textbook on land or property law. Property Law: Cases and Materials is particularly suitable for recommendation on LLB courses on property or land law; it also covers the requirements of CPE, ILEX and combined law degree courses.

  This new edition of Property Law builds upon the highly successful earlier editions, providing a modern and comprehensive text. Full consideration is given to the important proposals of the Law Commission relating to the reform of registration of title. It also encompasses the most recent statutes, including the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999, and case law. Amongst the most important new cases covered are Central London Commercial Estates Ltd v Kato Kagaku Ltd (adverse possession); Bruton v London and Quadrant Housing Trust (leases) and Royal Bank of Scotland plc v Etridge (no 2) (mortgages). 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. Property Law can be used by itself or together with the author's Property Law: Cases and Materials.
