  • Details

    • The only book devoted to proprietary estoppel
    • Clear structure allowing practitioners to isolate the key points in a case and quickly find the relevant case law
    • Provides thorough treatment of the relevant case law and discussion of points that have yet to come up in litigation
    • Includes discussion of related doctrines, demonstrating when it may be useful to rely on other doctrines alongside or instead of proprietary estoppel
    • Detailed commentary provides important context to the discussion of case law
    • Comparative material is provided which will assist a party in making, or responding to, a proprietary estoppel claim

    This book provides the first comprehensive and practically structured resource on the doctrine of proprietary estoppel. It offers answers to a number of difficult problems arising in recent litigation and guidance on managing proprietary estoppel cases. Relevant authorities are set out in an accessible and user-friendly format addressing issues that arise in practice, such as 'reasonable reliance', 'unconscionable conduct', and 'satisfying the equity'. 

    The long-standing doctrine of proprietary estoppel has come to prominence in recent years - it is regularly discussed by courts at all levels and is frequently pleaded by litigants wishing to show that they have informally acquired an interest in land. As a result of its vigorous recent development by the courts, there is no comprehensive and uncontroversial definition of the doctrine. There is also much debate regarding the relationship between proprietary estoppel and other doctrines, such as constructive trusts and unjust enrichment. A problem faced by anyone seeking to make, or respond to, a proprietary estoppel claim is that the law is to be found almost entirely in cases. The Law of Proprietary Estoppel sets out a clear structure with which to understand the law and will thus assist practitioners, academics, and others in navigating their way through the complex case law on proprietary estoppel, and also in understanding its relationship with related doctrines.

    This book is essential for all practitioners and scholars who encounter problems related to the doctrine of proprietary estoppel. The clear structure of the book makes the law easier to follow and enables readers to find relevant authorities quickly. The work draws together all of the relevant scholarship on proprietary estoppel and makes reference to useful cases from outside the jurisdiction of England and Wales to aid understanding of the law and related doctrines.

     

    Readership: Barristers and solicitors practising in commercial, chancery and property law as well as scholars teaching and researching land law.
