Publisher's Synopsis
Concentrating on law as it is rather than as it was, the main chapters of this book give considerable weight to practical matters, such as the acquisition of estates and interest in land and land charge provisions. The last section of the book discusses the more technical question of "What is land?" by which point the student of land law, whether at degree or ILEX level or those studying for the Law Society or Bar exams will have grasped the basic principles of land law.;This third edition has been updated in the light of recent legislation and case law. In particular it covers the changes made by the The Law of Property (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1989.
