Land Law 5e - Diane Chappelle - Cover blurb -Final

Land Law

provides a clear, lively and very approachable treatment of the main principles of the subject, with an in-depth coverage of key topics, described and analysed at an appropriate depth for undergraduates. The book has a number of features which make it attractive to students, in particular the sections on applying knowledge to solve examination problems and the helpful glossary of land law terminology. The book discusses all of the estates and interests in land and how they can be acquired, held, protected and lost.

The fifth edition gives an up-to-date account of recent case law and legislative developments. Reform is also considered, most importantly the reform of land registration heralded by the Law Commission Consultation Paper on Land Registration in the Twenty-First Century. The wide-ranging implications of this are considered throughout the book. The House of Lords’ decision in Bruton v London and Quadrant Housing Trust with regard to leases and licences is also analysed.

Diane Chappelle is a Senior Lecturer in Law at Liverpool John Moores University.

The accessible and readable books in this series are written for law students for the foundation subjects required on law degrees and on postgraduate common professional examination courses. Ideal for part-time and distance-learning courses as well as modularised traditional courses, the books are intended to be used in conjunction with other sources, such as law reports and case books.
