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 the fundamental principles of English Land Law, focusing in particular on key rights which exist in relation to land. You will scrutinise the content of these rights, and consider the way in which the content requirements of each right have been developed through judicial decision.  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.
