Publisher's Synopsis
Gray and Gray's Elements of Land Law remains the definitive authority on the subject and provides an interesting, reasoned and critical account of the fundamental principles or elements of the modern law of real property. This fourth edition has been restructured to reflect a 21st century vision of land law in which registration of title comprises the primary regime and in which the law of realty is increasingly infiltrated by environmental law, human rights law and European law. The book covers not only the Land Registration Act 2002, but also recent case law developments and the many statutory initiatives in the law of leases, commonholds, mortgages and land access which took effect in 2003 and 2004. An emphasis is placed on integrating the rational development of English law within a comparative common law context; and the book also links the contemporary law of land with important themes of modern property jurisprudence.
