  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.

The source material has been carefully selected to include all the cases and materials a property law student is likely to encounter in a study of the subject. While particularly suitable for property law and land law courses on the LL.B., the book also covers the requirements of the CPE, ILEX and combined law courses.
