Introduction Land Law

Seventh Edition

J. G. Riddall


  • 'Review from previous edition 'This is a book to recommend to any student experiencing difficulty in grasping the essential principles of land law; the principles are clearly explained and comprehension is aided by numerous examples and, occasionally by diagram.' -Solicitors' Journal
  • 'Mr Riddall is to be congratulated on his efforts which have produced a book which should be of considerable value both to students of land law who are not law students, and to law students who have difficulty in coming to grips with the subject.' -The Conveyancer
  • 'The text is clear and well illustrated by written examples and diagrams.' -Estates Gazette

The new edition of Riddall: Land Law takes into account new case law that has helped to clarify matters as disparate as: fixtures, the discharge of water on to a neighbour's land, severance by notice, the division of property between co-owners, the nature of licences, the nature of the interest held by a tolerated trespasser, the surrender of leases, and various others. But it is in legislation that the most significant changes have been seen. These are fully covered in this new edition, with particular attention paid to the Land Registration Act 2002 and the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002.
