Book excerpt: This series of three articles describes the history of land law shared by the British and American legal systems, and how and why these legal traditions have diverged from each other in modern times.This Article - part 2 in this series - describes the legal process used to establish British colonies in North America and the adoption or adaptation of English land law in the original thirteen colonies. It also describes the development of land law in each country from formal separation until England's massive property law reforms of the 1920s.Major developments in English property law after the watershed changes that the Statute of Uses introduced in 1536 included abolition of tenures completed by the Tenures Abolition Act of 1660, establishment of legal protections for leaseholds, modernization of future interests, and acceptance of succession of land interests among successive generations within a family. The rule against perpetuities was created and defined, trusts emerged as one of the truly brilliant inventions of English common law, mortgage law matured, and an elaborate law of servitude - including easements, covenants, profits, and licenses--arose from the law governing incorporeal hereditaments.Simultaneously, England's North American colonies established and transformed the common law of land in England. The development of colonial land law may be usefully compared with changes in English land law occurring during the same period. This Article discusses this comparison and the development of Anglo-American property law up to the 1920s, detailing the most important features of those developments and the circumstances that caused the differences.

Download or read book The Foundations of Anglo American Corporate Fiduciary Law written by David Kershaw and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-23 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the foundations and evolution of modern corporate fiduciary law in the United States and the United Kingdom. Today US and UK fiduciary law provide very different approaches to the regulation of directorial behaviour. However, as the book shows, the law in both jurisdictions borrowed from the same sources in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century English fiduciary and commercial law. The book identifies the shared legal foundations and authorities and explores the drivers of corporate fiduciary law's contemporary divergence. In so doing it challenges the prevailing accounts of corporate legal change and stability in the US and the UK.

Download or read book History of American Land Law English origins and the colonial experience written by David A. Thomas and published by Vandeplas Pub.. This book was released on 2013 with total page 1408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of American Land Law is the only comprehensive treatise on this important subject. In Volume 1: English Origins and the American Colonial Experience, the author traces the rise of land-related customs and laws in western civilization generally and in the British Isles specifically. The evolution of Celtic, Roman, Anglo-Saxon and Norman laws into the celebrated English common law, and the transmission of this law to the English North American colonies, are described in detail. The narrative reveals the many ways this centuries-long story touched the lives of ordinary people. In Volume 2: Land Law in the American States, the text describes and documents for each state to what extent the English common law and land law became part of that state's basic jurisprudence. In addition, one chapter shows how American states have considered comprehensively reforming certain areas of land law, and the final chapter describes the development of and changes in dozens of American land law topics in modern times. About the author: David A. Thomas is Rex E. Lee Endowed Chair and Professor of Law Emeritus at Brigham Young University's J. Reuben Clark Law School, where he taught from 1974-2012.
