The essays in this collection examine the conceptual notions of property and obligations in law. Ideas of property and of obligations are central, organising concepts within law but are nevertheless liable to fragmentation and esoteric development when applied in particular contexts.

This is a challenging and progressive collection of essays which cohere into an extensive examination of private law.
