Download or read book New Perspectives on Land Registration written by Amy Goymour and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 597 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Land Registration Act 2002 has been in force for almost fifteen years. When enacted, the legislation, which replaced the Land Registration Act 1925, was intended to offer a clear and lasting framework for the registration of title to land in England and Wales. However, perhaps confounding the hopes of its drafters, the legislation's interpretation and application has since generated many unanticipated problems which demand attention. In this book's twenty chapters, leading land law scholars, Law Commissioners past and present, judges, and Registry lawyers unpick key technical controversies, and expose underlying theoretical and policy concerns. Core issues addressed in these chapters include: the legitimate ambitions of registration regimes; the nature and security of title afforded by registration; the resolution of priority disputes affecting registered titles; the relationship between the general law and the registration regime; and new challenges presented by modern technological developments.
Download or read book Updating the Land Registration Act 2002 written by The Stationery Office and published by Stationery Office Books (TSO). This book was released on 2016 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The days when title to land was always proved by the production of a bundle of deeds are long gone; today, most landowners in England and Wales have registered title to their land. That means that their ownership is recorded on a register kept by Land Registry. Entry on the register is all that is needed to prove title, and the law does not allow buyers of land (or lenders) to look behind the register at the deeds and other documents to establish their title. Furthermore, the law guarantees the correctness of the register. The terms of reference for this project was broadly stated as comprising a "wideranging review" of the LRA 2002. This Paper is divided into ten parts: Part 1 explains the project; 2 considers the registration of estates and dispositions of land; 3 considers the land registration rules on priorities which determine when and against whom a property right is Enforceable; 4 addresses the question of indefeasibility; the circumstances in which the register can be changed and when such changes trigger an entitlement to an indemnity; 5 looks at specific matters relating to easements; 6 examines the provisions of the Act on adverse possession; 7 addresses some specific issues relating to mortgages or charges over registered land; 8 considers the development of electronic conveyancing; 9 looks at the jurisdiction of the Land Registration Division of the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) and finally, in part 10 they gather together provisional proposals for reform and other questions on which the views of consultees are invited

Download or read book Foundations of Property Law written by Christian von Bar and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-08-25 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foundations of Property Law: Things as Objects of Property Rights is an abridged translation of the first volume of Christian von Bar's Gemeineuropäisches Sachenrecht -a milestone in European private law theory, and in comparative property law more broadly. Radical in content and scope, the English version examines the dynamics of interaction between the objects, contents, and holders of property. The conceptual framework of 'property law' is presented as a domain of erga omnes monopoly rights that govern the relationship between persons and objects of value. Within that framework, a reciprocal relationship is illustrated between "property rights" and their objects; property rights play a role in constituting the very objects ("things") in which they are held. With comprehensive comparative analysis, insights are gleaned from all the jurisdictions of the European Union and the United Kingdom, presenting a critical evaluation of property law systems in both Common and Civil Law traditions. This book joins all the national legal systems in a single inquiry, treating their traditions and arguments with the respect they deserve and taking advantage of the knowledge embodied in the diversity of European private law. A scholastic work, offering deep and unique insights into the European property law systems, Foundations of Property Law will quickly become a go-to resource for anyone interested in European private law and comparative property law.

Download or read book Making land work written by Great Britain: Law Commission and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2011-06-08 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this report, the Law Commission makes recommendations to simplify, modernise and enhance the law of easements, covenants and profits á prendre. These rights are essential to the effective use of land and are relied upon by a significant proportion of property owners in England and Wales. Parts of the current law are ancient, contradictory and unfit for modern society. The report recommends reform where it is needed, while preserving those aspects of the law that function as they should. The recommendations would not affect the validity and enforceability of existing rights. The reforms would: make it possible for the benefit and burden of positive obligations to be enforced by and against subsequent owners; simplify and make clearer the rules relating to the acquisition of easements by prescription (or long use of land) and implication, as well as the termination of easements by abandonment; give greater flexibility to developers to establish the webs of rights and obligations that allow modern estates to function; facilitate the creation of easements that allow a substantial use of land by the benefiting owner (for example, rights to park a car); expand the jurisdiction of the Lands Chamber of the Upper Tribunal to allow for the discharge and modification of easements and profits created post-reform.
