Résumé

The second edition of this successful textbook has been thoroughly updated to take into account recent legal developments and new case law.

The book provides an accessible and up to date guide to primary and secondary source material on land law from every part of the Commonwealth Caribbean. Statutory provisions from all the States are discussed and compared in relation to each topic making this book an invaluable resource for students, scholars and practitioners in the region. Extensive discussion and analysis of the decisions of the courts in the region is also included alongside an in-depth analysis and critical discussion of English case law relevant to the Caribbean. The book also considers the views of English academics and judgments from English courts on many topical points of law, offering a critique of English legal opinions relevant to Commonwealth common law jurisdictions in order to consider the extent to which English case law should be followed in the region.

Essential reading for undergraduate law students in the Caribbean, this text will also prove useful to those studying for the Certificate of Proficiency in the Practice of Law in the Commonwealth Caribbean.
