First published in 1997, this volume constitutes a collection of new papers by more than 20 United Kingdom and International experts on general and specific issues relating to the reform of all aspects of property law. Topics covered include the language of property law and the dangers of reform, the role of the Law Commission and the workings of Parliamentary procedures, registration of title to land, landlord and tenant, land pollution, mortgages, sale of goods, the Hague Convention on trusts, together with general comparative papers and papers dealing with specific issues of property law reform affecting Hong Kong, Ireland, Scotland and South Africa. The volume arises out of the successful conference 'The Reform of Property Law' hosted by the Centre for Property Law at The University of Reading in 1996.

First published in 1999, this is the first of two books based on papers given at the conference organised by the Centre for Property Law at Reading in March 1998 under the title ‘Contemporary Issues in Property Law’. Speakers represented jurisdictions from around the world. Their subjects ranged from the theoretical and jurisprudential to the severely practical. No one who attended the conference – or subsequently reads the papers in this and the following book, Property Law: Current Issues and Debates – can believe in the picture of property law as archetypical, dry as dust, black letter, law. Questions of human rights, changes in social structures, technological developments are all shown to have their impact on property law, calling for careful analysis of the present law and practical proposals for reforms to reflect new developments.
