Land Law covers matters of fundamental importance to our society: the ownership of land and property, property rights and related obligations. In this module you will study in depth the fundamental principles of land law, focussing in particular on key rights which exist in relation to land. You will develop an understanding of the principles underlining land law and scrutinise how these principles have changed over time and how they have been shaped by society. In addition, you will study the formal and informal methods of acquiring rights over land, and the circumstances in which the burden of such rights will impact a third-party purchaser.
