| Property and Equity 2 - LAWS2382 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Description Property and Equity 2 builds on LAWS2381 Property, Equity and Trusts 1 by analysing many of the doctrines focused on in that course in the context of the Torrens system of land registration, and other domains of land law such as leases, mortgages, co-ownership and easements. The course will give students a sound understanding of basic principles of land law, and the role that equitable doctrine plays in the formation and modification of property rights. This is not to say that the course attempts to cover every aspect of the law of property. Exhaustive coverage is neither possible nor desirable. However, it does mean that students are expected to master the fundamental principles applicable to standard property interests, to examine the role of equitable doctrine, and to understand the framework of the legislation which now regulates much of the law of property.
