The Young Property Lawyers Forum (YPLF) is an informal international network with an annual conference that gives young property law researchers the opportunity to present their research to both young and established property law scholars from around the world. Property Law Perspectives III contains selected contributions from the fourth edition of the Young Property Lawyers Forum and Masterclass. The book offers an interesting selection of recent developments in the broad field of property law, including contributions on constitutional property law (with topics such as expropriation procedures, South African tenure, and expropriation of waterfalls for hydropower development), national private property law (with for example chapters on the English Land Registration Act 2002 and on virtual property), and European and comparative property law (with contributions about French fiducie versus trust, the global art market, and factory machinery bought under hire-purchase agreements).The wide variety of topics discussed by a young and promising generation of property lawyers make this book a fascinating read for anyone interested in developments in property law.

Property Law Perspectives IV contains a selection of the papers presented at the fifth meeting of the Young Property Lawyers Forum (YPLF), which took place at Wadham College, Oxford, in 2014. The YPLF is an informal, international network of property law researchers, which is primarily aimed at junior scholars. The papers presented at the YPLF are representative of the rapid developments currently taking place in property law scholarship, particularly in connection with EU law, environmental law, and internet law. Property Law Perspectives IV shows that attention is still being paid to the roots of property law. The papers in this volume take us on legal and historical journeys, exploring basic principles and well-known concepts of property law, such as the prior tempore rule, expropriation, proprietary security, and the rules on acquisitive and extinctive prescription. The wide variety of topics and jurisdictions discussed make this book a fascinating read for anyone interested in property law.
