Description

This text addresses the problem of the near invisibility of personal property law within the law curriculum by producing an integrated casebook that covers both the underlying philosophy and concepts of personal property law, and the impact of evolving business practices on the development of the law. The book is inspired by a determination to produce a concept-orientated approach to the subject that has hitherto impoverished the study of the concepts and philosophy of personal property law in the United Kingdom. The book is aimed at undergraduate law students on commercial law courses as well as students on integrated property law courses. By considering all the branches of law that touch commercial transactions, such as equity, trusts, property law and restitution, this work should also be useful for students studying postgraduate commercial law programmes.

Reviews

...helpful to a student who is looking to assemble a coherent view of topics that he or she might otherwise consign to the familiar pigeon-holes of equity, commercial law or land law. usefulness of the casebook, which fills a neglected gap in the market. -- David Fox * Cambridge Law Journal *
The successful (and enjoyable) study of property depends heavily on the selection and organisation of the material studied. This is why books like Sarah Worthington's 'Personal Property Law: Text and Materials' are so important. There is real value here. This commentary provides another incentive for instructors to use this book rather than produce their own collections of cases. It adds another informed voice to classroom discussions. -- Robert Chambers, University of Alberta * Trust Law International *
