This module provides a study of the common law and equitable principles governing the law of real property, which builds on legal studies completed in Stage I. The module shows the evolution of the common law from the tenurial aspects (briefly) to the 1925 and 2002 legislation and emphasises the continuing importance of the common law in the modern context and its application to the transfer of land ownership and especially to rights over land such as covenants easements and mortgages. The course also includes consideration of some of the very important changes wrought by the Land Registration Act 2002.
