    "A comprehensive and concise introduction to land law, demonstrating great strength in clarity of the text without compromising coverage. The online support resources are particularly welcome." Dr Lucy Barnes, University of East Anglia

     

    “One of the few books in this area which lives up to its title. It really does give the student an introduction to the subject.” Dave Powell, formerly University of Teesside

     

    "A clear, concise and accurate introductory text written by a leading authority in land law." Professor Antonia Layard, University of Birmingham

     

    "The text is clear and easy to understand. It explains the issues very well indeed without over-simplifying fundamental points." Professor Janine Griffiths-Baker, St Mary's University College

     

    Roger Smith’s Introduction to Land Law presents a straightforward account of the law and its effects, providing clear explanations of legal concepts students often find difficult to grasp and illuminating the interesting and thought-provoking issues stemming from land law. 

     

    The third edition incorporates leading decisions from the Supreme Court which have lately emerged in important areas of land law such as human rights (Manchester CC v Pinnock), leases (Jones v Kernott) and the family home (Mexfield Housing Co-operative Ltd v Berrisford). The chapter on the family home has been substantially revised to reflect recent developments.

    • The text is now fully cross-referenced with the author's Property Law:Cases and Materials companion to expand learning.
