Land law is about the connections between people and land, and also the relationships between people, jostling for space and allocating resources. As people change, so do the ways they use and think about land, and land law today looks very different from how it did fifty years ago, and in another generation's time it will have changed again. Elizabeth Cooke introduces the building blocks of land law, namely property rights in land, and explains how they have evolved by a mixture of design and accident. These include ownership rights, non-ownership rights, both legal and equitable, and analysis of how these different rights can apply to a single piece of land, and how they are managed and enforced. Throughout the book, the role of registration is central, following the Land Registration Act 2002, and the implications of this Act for English land law are fully explored.
