This collection is based on papers presented at the well-established Modern Studies in Property Law biennial conference.
It contains cutting-edge research relating to property law broadly conceived, covering land law, equity and trusts, and the interaction between property law and the environment.
Part 1 of Volume 13 in the Modern Studies in Property Law series examines a diverse range of topics in property law and uses a wide range of methodological approaches to reflect on a variety of current and emerging issues that have been overlooked, offering new analysis and insights that will be valuable for property lawyers, academics and students.
The contributors are leading academics and practitioners from several common law jurisdictions, which expands the books focus and enhances its value to the reader.
