Product Description

It focuses on the modern law, confining discussion of historical developments to the minimum necessary to understand basic principles and concentrate on the law as it is now.

It is written in a direct and informal style, explaining the law in non-technical language and warning of possible misunderstandings and confusions. Rules are illustrated by reference to real-life situations in a fictitious town, bringing the subject to life and enhancing the reader's understanding of problem areas. Useful features include a glossary, sample documents and further reading references. The unique and straightforward approach taken by the authors has established Textbook on Land Law as the ultimate practical land law book and makes the subject interesting and accessible. Online Resource Centre The accompanying Online Resource Centre includes additional detail in relation to certain areas, designed for those needing to have a greater knowledge of some older or more complex areas of land law.

Format:Hardcover
This book is well written, easy to understand and ideal for law students. The text is clear and the authors illustrate the legal points well with examples. The book does not over burden you with excessive amounts of detail, it just tells you what you need to know in order to do well in your property law exam. Thank-you Judith-Anne and Mary for turning a relatively dry area of land law into something quite bearable. My only criticism of the book is that it has no chapter on Finder's Titles and Treasures. A good book for this chapeter that I would reccommend comes from Roger Smith's 4th Edition of Property Law.

Format:Paperback
Land law is a notoriously complex and weighty subject. However, Judith-Anne Mackenzie and Mary Philips manage to simplify the concepts and explain them in an easily digestible manner, whilst still managing to cover all the major topics thoroughly. I would recommend this book to all students. Combined with a thorough case book it is all you will need. Well done to two ladies who have at last written a text book which does it's purpose; to teach and explain a subject brilliantly, not just go right over your head!

Format:Paperback
The core textbook for the Property Law module on my LLB. Tackling the notoriously dry and complex subject that is Land Law, this is a refreshingly simple book to follow. Each area is broken down into understandable terms making this an indispensible purchase for any Law student or general reader.

I used this book to revise for my second year law exams, and I ended up with a first-class mark. Enough said.

Unhelpful.
We have to read this book for our course. It is not very helpful, long winded, and not very concise either. Read more

Sheds some light on land law
Land law's such an arcane-seeming subject, and the key texts, like Gray & Gray, could fell a bull elephant at 50 paces. Start with this one. Read more
