Principles of Property Law

This work examines basic tenets of property law, such as the doctrine of estates, legal and equitable interests, methods of registering and prioritizing interests in property. It also examines specific property interests such as land interests, and the way in which interest is conveyed, registered and co-ordinated. Attention is given to other interests associated with land, such as leasehold interests, mortgages, easements and covenants. The book also considers the developments of native title as a legally recognized form of property in Australia, and how such an interest sits with the common law and statutory infrastructure.
