| Summary |
"The second edition of 'An Introduction to Property Law in Australia' is substantially revised throughout, but maintains a clear, friendly style and broad coverage of almost every aspect of real and personal property. The coverage has been expanded to include several new areas of property law, including powers of appointment, strata and unit titles, and subrogation. Leasehold covenants are explored in more detail. The law has been updated throughout, with discussions of developments in Australia and overseas in all areas of property law, including domestic partnerships, human cloning, and intellectual property. Improvements to the structure of the text include the addition of footnotes to help readers find cases, statutes and other materials for further study. There are references to statutes in all Australian jurisdictions, as well as uniform citations to cases to facilitate electronic research." -- Publisher's website |
