A New Land Law

Description

Peter Sparkes' text on land law has been rewritten almost sentence by sentence partly to incorporate the seismic changes introduced by the Land Registration Act 2002, along with commonholds, the explosion of human rights jurisprudence, and the unremitting advance of judicial exposition. Partly also, to accommodate the author's developing thinking on the structural aspects of the subject, jolted by the new clearer structure for land registration with its much greater clarity of function behind the means of protecting third party interests.

Peter Sparkes is Professor of Law at the University of Southampton.

This review is of the first edition: A massive amount of research and scholarship has gone into the book, with impressive citation of cases, articles and case-notes, and of other text-booksThis newcomer on the scene is a considerable addition to the ranks of serious text-books on land law and the author is to be congratulated. -- Dr Harold Wilkinson * New Law Journal * The scope of this work is ambitious...it is a bold attempt to take the study of land law forward...much more than a basic land law text book...it would be a pleasure to be able to teach a course requiring students to cover the substance or the bulk of it whether in one or more modules...a difficult blend of background and history, massive referencing, discussion of statute and case law, all wrapped up in a text that is not too difficult to absorb. -- Peter Halstead * The Law Teacher *
