The 6th edition of Martin Dixons Modern Land Law builds on the books strength as a user-friendly yet comprehensive account of the field. Maintaining its explanation of land law in an understandable and logical fashion,this thoroughly revised and updated book fully considers the impact of the reforms of the Land Registration Act 2002. As the most significant piece of legislation since 1925, this statute will fundamentally change the way we approach land law.
The text is designed to explode the myth that land law is a mystery
by treating the subject like a jigsaw and explaining how the principles
of the subject fit together within that jigsaw. Each chapter commences
with a clear introduction to the general scheme of modern land law and
then considers the major topics in turn, concluding with a summary.
Contents
An Introduction to Modern Land Law; Registered Land; Unregistered Land;
Co-ownership; Successive Interest in Land; Leases; The Law of Easements;

Land law is a subject dominated by the need for original source materials, a need specifically addressed by this book's outstanding selection of key statutes and cases. To help readers develop an understanding of the materials, and to set them in their full context, each important legal issue is clearly explained and critically analysed with a discussion of possible defects in the law and proposals for reform.
The content and structure of the book reflects that of most undergraduate land law courses, which makes it ideal for the busy student wishing to gain a detailed understanding of the subject matter of his or her lecture course. The choice of materials covers all elements of the degree level land law syllabus.
The third edition follows the successful format of the second but the text and the selection of materials has been extensively revised throughout to integrate subsequent legislative and case law developments and proposals for reform. Most obviously, the chapter on Registration of Title has been completely rewritten to reflect the coming into force of the Land Registration Act 2002.
CONTENTS
Introductory topics. Title deeds conveyancing. Registration of title.
Trusts of land. Leases. Licences and proprietary estoppel. Easements. Covenants
affecting freehold land. Mortgages of land.
This
book demonstrates effective methods of answering typical examination
and assessment questions. Each chapter is arranged so that basic principles
are considered first,with more complex issues being dealt with once these
have been mastered.
This fourth edition contains new questions and has been substantially revised in the light of recent developments in land law. Most importantly, the Land Registration Act 2002 is given comprehensive consideration.
