Customer Reviews

A conveyancers, rather than students, book
We were set Megarry and Wade as the core text book for Property Law this year. It is incredibly detailed and very concise, to the extent that students may find the book a problem. The main cases are not incorporated in neat half page summaries but broken up and referenced in the footnotes giving rise to the problem that it is difficult to come to grips with important decisions with this book alone. The book also makes it difficult to grasp what is important and what is not. The law is presented in a manner where if it take ten pages to explain a minor point then ten pages are used, and if a vital point only requires one page, one page is used. Having said that, the book is thorough and for the more intelligent law student, probably very useful. The law is broken up into headings which does make it easier to understand what is happening. It must be supplemented with a cases and materials book.
