This updated text covers all areas of the modern land law syllabus and includes discussions of commonhold, changes in land registration, and the impact of the Human Rights Act 1998. The book explains the law and illustrates it by reference to imaginary properties and their owners. Areas of uncertainty or controversy are identified, with suggestions for further reading at the close of each chapter. As a successor to the authors' popular "A Practical Approach to Land Law", this title continues to provide a practical approach to the subject. This edition takes into account both statutory and case law developments. There are detailed accounts of the introduction of commonhold and the other implications of the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act and also the impending changes in the land registration system. Discussion of recent case law developments are found throughout the text, including consideration of the decisions of the House of Lords in Southwark LBC versus Mills, Ashurst Fraser Ltd versus Gloucester CC and the Court of Appeal judgments in Gillet versus Holt and Pye versus Graham.
