Possession, Relative Title, and Ownership in English Law by Luke Rostill Pdf

This monograph is concerned with two foundational principles of English property law: the principle of relativity of title and the principle that possession is a source of title. It is impossible to understand the relationship between possession and ownership in English law unless one has a sound understanding of these principles. Yet the principles have been interpreted in different ways by judges, practitioners, and academics. The volume seeks to illuminate this area of law by addressing four questions. What is possession? What is the nature of the title acquired through possession? What are the grounds of relativity of title? And, what is the relationship between relativity of title and ownership? Drawing on the analysis of the law concerning relativity of title and the acquisition of proprietary interests through possession, the author also implies that the architecture of land law and the law of personal property have many similarities.

Possession of Land by Mark Wonnacott Pdf

Nothing is more important in English land law than 'possession'. It is the foundation of all title, rights and remedies. But what exactly is it, and why does it still matter? This book, first published in 2006, is about the meaning, significance and practical effect of the concept of possession in contemporary land law. It explains the different meanings of possession, the relationship between possession and title, and the ways in which the common law and equity do, and do not, protect possession. The rights and remedies of freeholders, tenants and mortgage lenders, between themselves and against third parties, are all to some extent dependent on questions of status and possession. This book shows how. It is designed to provide an understanding of the basic principles for the student, and answers to difficult, real problems for the practitioner.

An Expressive Theory of Possession by Michael JR Crawford Pdf

Possession is a foundational concept in property law. Despite its undoubted importance, it is poorly understood and a perennial source of confusion. Indeed, there is a widely held view amongst lawyers that possession is an irredeemably ambiguous and amorphous concept. This book aims to challenge this conventional wisdom and to demonstrate that possession is in fact far simpler than generations of lawyers have been led to believe. In viewing possession as a knotty problem for the philosopher or legal theoretician, scholars are apt to overlook the important truth that possession is a concept that laymen routinely and, for the most part, effortlessly apply as they navigate through the countless property interactions that shape everyday life. The key to understanding the nature and function of possession in the law is to appreciate that the possession 'rule' is, first and foremost, a spontaneously emergent phenomenon. Possession describes those acts that, as a matter of an extra-legal convention, constitute the accepted way in which members of a given population stake their claims to tangible things. Fusing traditional legal analysis with insights from philosophy and economics, An Expressive Theory of Possession applies this central claim to both theoretical and doctrinal problems in property law and, in doing so, provides a coherent explanation of possession and its role in law and life.

Property Law by Roger J. Smith Pdf

This new edition of Property Law builds upon the highly successful earlier editions, providing a modern and comprehensive text. Full consideration is given to the important proposals of the Law Commission relating to the reform of registration of title. It also encompasses the most recent statutes, including the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999, and case law. Amongst the most important new cases covered are Central London Commercial Estates Ltd v Kato Kagaku Ltd (adverse possession); Bruton v London and Quadrant Housing Trust (leases) and Royal Bank of Scotland plc v Etridge (no 2) (mortgages). Property Law provides full coverage of basic property principles, permitting land law principles to be situated within this broader context. Particular attention is given to the role of possession, for both land and chattels. Trusts and equity are explained so far as these are relevant to property issues. The approach adopted thus ensures that the book is suitable for courses which deal with property law in this way, as well as for more traditional land law courses. Land law topics are widely covered, but with an emphasis on issues central to most courses on this subject. The book goes well beyond a description of the rules, however, seeking rather to get to the heart of the analyses used by the courts and to provide an understanding of their effect within a mature and complex area of law. There is a full discussion of key cases and the ways in which they articulate the fundamental principles of property law, enabling students to obtain a firm grasp of the subject and to apply these principles to particular problems and examples. Property Law can be used by itself or together with the author's Property Law: Cases and Materials.
