By
Charles Harpum,,
Description
Providing comprehensive and
authoritative coverage of all aspects of the contemporary law of real
property, Megarry & Wade: The Law of Real Property is a
vital tool for all property and conveyancing solicitors and
barristers.
Megarry & Wade covers the
whole of the English law of real property in one volume together with
related subjects, such as conveyancing, leases and wills and
intestacy. First published in 1957 and regarded as the leading title
on land law, Megarry & Wade is an authoritative work. It
is cited frequently in court and has been drawn on by the
Parliamentary draftsman. It provides definitive guidance for
practitioners.
The rights and liabilities of
landowners are comprehensively examined, setting out the legal
requirements, explaining the technical issues and providing
authoritative interpretation of statutes and measured analysis of
relevant decisions. Megarry & Wade explains the
fundamentals, principles and concepts of the law of real property and
is an ideal first point of reference to find a definitive answer on
this broad subject.
The 7th edition of Megarry &
Wade takes full account of recent legislation that has
transformed property law in England and Wales. These developments
include: Trustee Act 2000, Land Registration Act 2002, Land
Registration Rules 2003, Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002 and
the Housing Act 2004. It also incorporates all the main developments
in case law such as, Royal Bank of Scotland v Etridge (No 2), Stack v
Dowden and Pye v UK. The chapters of the book have been re-structured
in order to take particular account of recent legal developments
including: Registration of Title, Use of Trusts, Commonhold, Human
Rights, Service Charges and Adverse Possession.
