Welcome

These blogs are intended to cover matters of interest in connection with property law in England and Wales. I hope they will be of interest to all concerned in the property industry; they are not intended solely for lawyers, and I will try and strike a balance in posts in order to achieve both readability and accuracy. This may lead to what a lawyer might see as a degree of over-simplification; lawyer (and indeed non-lawyer) subscribers are very welcome to tell me what I have got wrong or to express contrary views or ask for authority for any propositions I put forward – all comments will be welcome.

I will, wherever possible, include links to statutes and cited cases. So far as case law is concerned, I am indebted to the British and Irish Legal Information Institute (BAILII) for allowing me to link to the vast amount of case law which they have accumulated on their site. The site is an enormously helpful research tool; BAILII is a charity which is dependent on donations from law firms and others to expand its already extensive database.

I may also from time to time use this facility to express non-legal opinions on topical issues, and these are listed under “Non-Legal Opinions”.
