Gray and Gray's Elements of Land Law provides an interesting, reasoned and critical account of the fundamental principles or elements of the modern law of real property. This fourth edition has been restructured to reflect a 21st century vision of land law in which registration of title comprises the primary regime and in which the law of realty is increasingly infiltrated by environmental law, human rights law and European law.

The book covers not only the Land Registration Act 2002, but also recent case law developments and the many statutory initiatives in the law of leases, commonholds, mortgages and land access which took effect in 2003 and 2004. An emphasis is placed on integrating the rational development of English law within a comparative common law context; and the book also links the contemporary law of land with important themes of modern property jurisprudence.

• Includes the Land Registration Act 2002, the Land Registration Rules 2003, and the latest cases and statute relating to commonhold, leasehold, mortgages and land access
• Considers the impact of the law of the environment, human rights, and European legislation on domestic English law
• Integrates the rational development of English law within a comparative common law context, thereby encouraging a well-balanced view of domestic law
• Links the contemporary law of land with important themes of modern property jurisprudence, making this a thought-provoking and holistic account of the law
• Fully re-structured and re-written throughout, and including all the latest case law and statutory developments, providing the essential course companion for students of land law
