In its essence, property law has to provide answers to two
very difficult questions: who is entitled to use property,
and how are they entitled to use it? Property law is therefore
inherently difficult, but not impossibly so. It consists of
an ordered and logical system, which aims to take the sting
out of fierce disputes.
This book provides a new perspective on property
law. By setting out an underlying structure, it allows the
reader to understand the fundamental principles of this difficult
subject. By providing detailed coverage of individual topics,
it shows how those principles apply in practice and provides
a comprehensive resource for anyone studying, teaching, researching
or practising in property law.
The book is written in an accessible style,
with frequent summaries and, in both its pages and companion
web-site it makes use of helpful visual aids. It is ideal
reading for law students seeking a rock-solid understanding
of how property law and land law work, and contains sufficient
detail for use as a course book in:
Property Law
Land Law
Personal Property Law
The book also provides detailed analysis of core topics in:
Equity & Trusts
Commercial Law
Unjust Enrichment & Restitution

Comments:
“I just received The Structure
of Property Law by Ben McFarlane. I shall be using this
book for its discussion of security – this book is absolutely
brilliant! It is clear, descriptive, and does an excellent
job of putting the law into the hands of the students. I shall
begin recommending it to both my LLB and LLM students.”
