This edition has been revised and updated to include recent, significant cases on land law, a new chapter on licences and further explanations of the principles of the law of real property.

Land law, with its interlocking complexities and an abundance of technical terms, has always been one of the most difficult subjects for law students. From the first, the aim of this book has been to explain the law in language that is as clear and direct as teh subject permits. In general scope and outline this 7th edition of the book remains unchanged. Yet the whole of it has been reconsidered, and many improvements have been made in its balance, organization, lay-out and style. Much important new material generated by Parliament and the courts has been included, and over half the book has been rewritten or newly written, including a new chapter on licences and proprietary estoppel. The basic aim of directness and clarity remains unchanged. This edition should once again be welcomed by students of property law as a lucid guice to a difficult subject, while practitioners will find it useful for everyday reference in a developing branch of the law.
