The third edition of "Modern Land Law" provides an engaging and highly accessible introduction to the basic principles of contemporary land law, covering all the major topics studied by undergraduates. Taking a fresh, analytical approach, Mark Thompson excels in explaining complex situations and rules clearly but without oversimplification. The book explores the social context within which the law operates and guides students through the various debates which continue around the subject. The third edition has been fully revised and updated to reflect recent and ongoing developments, particularly case law on the Land Registration Act 2002 and the Human Rights Act 1998. "Modern Land Law" retains a traditional structure that reflects the way courses are taught, with each topic broken down into straightforward language under clear subheadings. Designed to map directly on to mainstream university courses, this book remains the ideal textbook for undergraduates.
