Land Law

Second Edition

Chris Bevan

• The author's clear, engaging writing style speaks directly to students and anticipates their questions, enabling the book to present a sophisticated analysis of the law that does not overwhelm or confuse readers
• 90 carefully-constructed diagrams and flowcharts set out the material in intuitive visual formats, providing bird's eye views of topics and concepts and thereby aiding understanding
• Key cases for each topic are succinctly summarized in a 'facts', 'legal issue', 'judgment' format to provide students with a clear sense of why they are important and to pique their interest, providing a springboard for independent reading of the primary sources
• 'Future directions' sections at the end of each chapter epitomize the book's forward-looking, horizon-scanning perspective, proving to students that land law remains active and relevant, and encouraging a critical approach to the status quo
• The book provides focused yet comprehensive coverage, closely mapped to LLB courses and aligned with subject trends and priorities - unregistered land is covered in appropriate brevity, and a full chapter is devoted to the increasingly-important topic of land law and human rights

New to this Edition:

• Discussion of the Law Commission report No. 380, Updating the Land Registration Act 2002 (2018) and new legislation: Tenant Fees Act 2019 and Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018
• New, separate and dedicated chapters on licences, proprietary estoppel and leasehold covenants to help students unpick and distinguish key topics and to align the text with undergraduate land law course design
