- Recent cases on practical aspects of conveyancing including:
- Rights of way, prescriptive easements, the widest possible grant?
- Restrictive covenants: pre-1926 conveyance, restriction on number of dwellinghouses, power to discharge absolute covenant?
- New Homes: stakeholder contracts and buyer-funded development
- Beneficial interests: undue influence and unwritten trust declarations
