American Bar Association Construction Defects, Second
Book SynopsisThe first edition of this book was published almost ten years ago to provide a useful guide on construction defect law in the United States. The goal was to provide a useful analytical framework and starting point for research of specific issues confronting practitioners and their clients. The editors of the current edition have endeavored to achieve that same goal here. The three characteristics of the first edition remain unchanged. First, the book is organized to allow the reader to identify a construction defect issue and then follow the trail to meaningful discussion and research in several ways--by type of construction defect, by party, by type of claim, and by theory of liability or defense. Second, it provides guidance in specific areas of concern, such as insurance, limitations defenses, damages, dispute resolution, and preparing and presenting a case. Finally, the authors were selected for their expertise in the subject matters covered by their chapters, as well as for the diversity of the clients they represent. The law on construction defects is dynamic and continually evolving. New statutes and court decisions frequently change the landscape. This book gives the readers a representative sampling of these and many other issues, along with references that will guide them with information about a jurisdiction of interest.

Intersentia Ltd Legal Certainty in Real Estate Transactions: A
Book SynopsisThis comparative research was triggered by the assessment of property registration law published in the World Bank Doing Business reports (DB). The international and interdisciplinary team aimed to assess how legal certainty was imagined and put in practice in French and English law, using commercial real estate as a case study. Not only this study identifies the economic impact of the law in both jurisdictions, it also looked at the practitioners functions in the dealing with commercial real estate transactions. In other words, it analyses the topical position of practitioners such as the French notaires and the role of solicitors in England. Nowadays, the profession of notaires is confronted to numerous challenges. For instance, nationality requirement for its access, has been ruled by the ECJ as contrary to the freedom of establishment and art. 49 TFEU and not justified by "the exercise of public authority".In this study, the authors argue that the actual nature and the quality of the work done by the practitioners should be considered as well as financial cost and delays. They also argue that a liberalisation of professions such as civil law notaires would have very little impact on the cost associated with doing business. As a matter of fact, both the English and the French mechanisms are very similar in their objectives and outcome even though they handle the same transaction differently, because of the culturally different relevant angles.

Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.Authoritative and multidisciplinary in approach, this Research Agenda shapes questions that will underpin future legal and empirical scholarly inquiry on zoning and land use regulation in the US. Building on existing debates and providing a comprehensive overview of the current state of academic research, it identifies the gaps which need addressing in future research.Bringing together a diverse array of prominent voices across multiple disciplines, A Research Agenda for US Land Use and Planning Law adeptly navigates central themes including the structure of land use regulation, the relationship between zoning and planning, and the role of different levels of government and administrative agencies. Chapters critically analyse the laws that govern public participation alongside the potential reforms to these processes.

This book belongs on the shelves of all land use scholars and practitioners.’ -- Jerold S. Kayden, Harvard University, US‘At a time when the stakes could not be higher for how our built environment shapes our economy and society, John Infranca and Sarah Schindler have gathered a remarkable group of scholars to map the complex dynamics defining contemporary land-use and planning law, making a compelling argument for the value of research to navigate the challenging paths ahead.’ -- Nestor Davidson, Fordham University, USTable of ContentsContents: Introduction: Themes and Trends in land use and planning law research 1 PART I STRUCTURE OF LAND USE AND PLANNING LAW 1 The role of planning 47 Nicholas J.

Bath Publishing Ltd A Practical Guide To Permitted Changes of Use:
Book SynopsisA Practical Guide to Permitted Changes of Use is the definitive, comprehensive practical guide to permitted changes of use under the much changed General Permitted Development Order (‘GPDO’). The extensive changes to the Use Classes Order in 2020 were clearly going to be followed by consequential amendments to the GPDO, especially to permitted development rights for changes of use in Parts 3 and 4 of its Second Schedule. This has led to the most radical shake-up of these provisions since permitted development rights for changes of use began to be significantly expanded from 2013 onwards. The new provisions came into force on 1 August 2021, and the Fourth Edition of A Practical Guide to Permitted Changes of Use contains a fully updated text explaining these legislative changes in detail. Some significant expansion of PD rights has been brought about, notably Class MA, which permits the residential conversion of the wide range of buildings in commercial, business or service uses that now fall within Use Class E. Some former PD rights have now been removed. A few of these were simply redundant, as a result of both the pre-existing use and the new use now falling within one and the same Use Class, so that a change of use from one to the other is no longer development at all. Others have been replaced by new or enlarged PD rights under other Classes. For example, the revised and expanded Class A now embraces previous PD rights under Classes A, B, C, D, E and F (to the extent that some of these have not been rendered altogether redundant). This has left a number of PD rights that have been removed from the GPDO altogether without being replaced in any way. These are defined as ‘protected development’, and their life has been extended for a limited period. All these former PD rights are identified in the book, and the transitional rules that apply to them are explained in detail. This Fourth Edition of A Practical Guide to Permitted Changes of Use will be an essential resource for property owners, developers and their professional advisers, giving them a completely up-to-date guide to this increasingly complicated and much-amended legislation.

James Currey Women, Land and Justice in Tanzania
Book SynopsisReveals the impact of Tanzania's land law reforms and the ways in which women's rights to land ownership have been overridden in spite of law. Recent decades have seen a wave of land law reforms across Africa, in the context of a "land rush" and land-grabbing. But how has this been enacted on the ground and, in particular, how have women experienced this? This book seeksto re-orientate current debates on women's land rights towards a focus on the law in action. Drawing on the author's ethnographic research in the Arusha region of Tanzania, it explores how the country's land law reforms have impacted on women's legal claims to land. Centring on cases involving women litigants, the book considers the extent to which women are realising their interests in land through land courts and follows the progression of women's claims to land - from their social origins through processes of dispute resolution to judgment. Dancer's work explores three central issues. First, it considers the nature of women's claims to land in Tanzanian family contexts,the value of land in an era of land reform and the 'land rush' across Africa, and the extent to which the social issues raised are addressed by Tanzania's current laws and legal system. Secondly, it examines how agency and power relations between social and legal actors engaged in legal processes affect women's access to justice and the progression of claims. Thirdly, it explores Tanzanian concepts of justice and rights and how women's claims have been judged by land courts in practice. Helen Dancer is a lecturer in Law at the University of Brighton. She practised as a barrister in England specialising in family legal aid cases prior to training as a legal anthropologist. She is also a consultant for Future Agricultures at IDS, University of Sussex. Her areas of research interest include law and development, gender and land, and human rights and legal pluralism.Trade Review[T]he book addresses the existing legal provisions, deficiencies and achievements of gender equity in land allocation. . . .

This is a well-grounded and carefully thought through study. * TANZANIAN AFFAIRS *This is an excellent book that details the micro-level exclusions and difficulties women face in asserting land rights as well as the challenges states face in attempting to accommodate customary land law within egalitarian legal systems.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Landmark Cases in Land Law
Book SynopsisLandmark Cases in Land Law is the sixth volume in the Landmark Cases series of collected essays on leading cases (previous volumes in the series having covered Restitution, Contract, Tort, Equity and Family Law). The eleven cases in this volume cover the period 1834 to 2011, although, interestingly, no fewer than six of the cases were decided or reported in the 1980s. The names of the selected cases will be familiar to property lawyers. However, individually, the essays provide a reappraisal of the cases from a wide range of perspectives - focusing on their historical, social or theoretical context, highlighting previously neglected aspects and even questioning their perceived importance. Collectively, the essays explore several common themes that pervade the law of property – the numerus clausus principle, the conclusiveness of registration, the desirability of certainty in the law and the central question of the enforceability of interests through changes in ownership of land. This volume provides a collection of essays that will be of interest to academics, students and practitioners.Trade ReviewI highly recommend this book to Canadian legal practitioners, academics and law students. Each essay in this volume is well worth reading simply for the doctrinal analysis of the landmark cases. Each author is an authority in land law and each facilitates an in-depth understanding of the cases and their impact. But the worthiness of these essays is not limited to their exemplary doctrinal nature. The essays also provide a rich social, factual or historical context for the decisions and the people and property involved, making the reading experience an enjoyable one. Anyone with an interest in some of the most enduring issues in land law will profit from this collection. -- Jonnette Watson Hamilton * Canadian Business Law Journa *Table of Contents1 Keppell v Bailey (1834); Hill v Tupper (1863) The Numerus Clausus and the Common Law Ben McFarlane 2 Todrick v Western National Omnibus Co Ltd (1934) The Interpretation of Easements Peter Butt 3 Re Ellenborough Park (1955) A Mere Recreation and Amusement Elizabeth Cooke 4 Taylors Fashions Ltd v Liverpool Victoria Trustees Co Ltd; Old & Campbell Ltd v Liverpool Victoria Friendly Society (1979) Stitching Together Modern Estoppel Martin Dixon 5 Federated Homes Ltd v Mill Lodge Properties Ltd (1979) Annexation and Intention Nigel P Gravells 6 Williams and Glyn's Bank Ltd v Boland (1980) The Development of a System of Title by Registration Roger Smith 7 Midland Bank Trust Co Ltd v Green (1980) Maintaining the Integrity of Registration Systems Mark P Thompson 8 Street v Mountford (1985); AG Securities v Vaughan; Antoniades v Villiers (1988) Tenancies and Licences: Halting the Revolution Stuart Bridge 9 City of London Building Society v Flegg (1987) Homes as Wealth Nicholas Hopkins 10 Stack v Dowden (2007); Jones v Kernott (2011) Finding a Home for 'Family Property' Andrew Hayward 11 Manchester City Council v Pinnock (2010) Shifting Ideas of Ownership of Land Susan Bright

Globe Law and Business Ltd Real Estate Transactions: A Practical Global
Book SynopsisReal estate regulations vary widely across different jurisdictions. Each country has its own particularities, which are of utmost importance in practice. Concepts such as the obligation to execute the agreement before a public notary, compulsory registration of the deed and the formal provisions to be included therein may determine the validity or voidance of the transfer of property. A lawyer who is unfamiliar with the real estate regulations of the country involved may think that a title is valid if the formalities required in his or her home jurisdiction have been complied with, but in most cases this is insufficient and is the origin of subsequent problems and conflicts. This new work aims to outline the mechanics for real estate transactions in a selection of key jurisdictions, as well as the fiscal treatment of the same. It will therefore provide an essential tool for those acquiring real estate in a wide range of countries.Table of ContentsArgentina Laura Lavia Haidempergher M&M Bomchil Australia Garry Pritchard Emil Ford & Co Austria Alexander Krilyszyn Pistotnik Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH Brazil Roberto Wilson Renault Pinto Felsberg, Pedretti, Mannrich e Aidar Advogados British Virgin Islands Sally Cox Appleby Bulgaria Kaloyan Krumov Stephan Kyutchukov Djingov, Gouginski, Kyutchukov & Velichkov Canada China Costa Rica John Aguilar Jr Marco Solano Gomez Aguilar Castillo Love Czech Republic Juraj Dulik Vojtech Triska Triska & Zak Cyprus George Z Georgiou George Z Georgiou & Associates Dominican Republic Roman Medina Russin, Vecchi & Heredia Bonetti England & Wales Claudia Otto Kerman & Co LLP France Cyrille Bailly Lacourte Balas & Associes Louis Neret Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP Germany Andreas Lachmann Rotthege Wassermann & Partner GbR Ireland Sheena Beale Kane Tuohy India Italy Silvia Enrico Andrea Sassi 4Legal - Gtudio Legale Japan Mr Ogawa Lynn Pickard Minoru Saito Kojima Law Offices Mexico Fernando Cuesta Ramon Macias Garcia Cuesta Campos y Asociados SC Norway Oystein Sverre Braekhus Dege Advokatfirma ANS Paraguay Esteban Burt Peroni Sosa Tellechea Burt & Narvaja Poland Stefan Jacyno Wardynski & Partners Romania Cecilia Badea Ioana Gherman Pachiu & Associates Russia Dmitry Lyakhov Jonathan Russin Russin & Vecchi LLP Slovak Republic Alexandra Gacikova Squire, Sanders & Dempsey LLP South Africa Taryn Harris Bowman Gilfillan Spain Mercedes Caral JAUSAS

Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften Utopia - Eine Welt von morgen im Spiegel
Book SynopsisIm Jahr 1516 erschien das Goldene Buch von Thomas Morus: Utopia. Er ging in die Geschichte als Vater der Gesellschaftsutopie ein. Der Band geht den Ursprüngen von Utopia nach, diskutiert die Aktualität von Utopien und gibt einen Ausblick: Klimatopia. Das Buch rückt die räumliche Dimension der Utopie in den Mittelpunkt und zeigt, dass Morus' Utopia auch nach 500 Jahren in Zukunftsdebatten ausstrahlt. Dies erfolgt durch eine Auseinandersetzung mit dem Utopie-Begriff aus raumplanerischer Perspektive, die Analyse der Versuche, Utopien baulich umzusetzen und die Kritik am oft missbrauchten Utopie-Begriff. Mit dem Buch wird ein Beitrag zur Diskussion um die Richtungsorientierung für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung im Zeitalter eines neuen Klimamodus der Menschheit geleistet.

Peter Lang AG Goethes Faust: Oekonom - Landesplaner -
Book SynopsisIn dieser Studie stellt der Autor Fausts Werdegang vom Gelehrten zum Ökonomen, Landesplaner und Unternehmer dar und zeigt durch die innovative geographische Deutung des fünften Akts, inwiefern durch Fausts Neulandgewinnung eine blühende Kulturlandschaft hat entstehen können. Bislang bestand in der Faust-Forschung weitgehend Konsens darüber, dass Faust am Ende des Dramas ein Egomane und ein Illusionist ist und dass dessen Neulandprojekt scheitern wird. Der Autor zeigt hier, dass ganz im Gegenteil Fausts wirtschaftliches Wirken und damit sein ganzes Leben (trotz so mancher Schattenseiten) von Erfolg gekrönt ist. Durch diese neue Sichtweise weist das Buch den Weg zu einem positiven Faust-Bild.

Pentagon Press Land Registration: Global Practices and Lessons
Book SynopsisAs per an estimate, a third of cases pending in Indian courts involve dispute over property. Some experts have the view that India should switch over from deed registration system to title registration system to solve the problem of ever increasing land disputes. The Department of Land Resources, Government of India, also subscribed to this view and listed ‘moving eventually towards guaranteed conclusive titles to immovable properties in the country’ as one of the objectives of the National Land Records Modernization Program (NLRMP) launched in 2008. In spite of this policy, not much headway was made by the states in this direction. Experience has shown that unless there is substantial research to support such a drastic change in the registration system practiced in India, states would not go for it.This book, authored by a senior Indian Administrative Service officer having extensive first-hand knowledge of land administration, fills the existing gap of research in the field of land registration and maintenance of title records in India. It contains: 1. A Comparative analysis of land registration system of Germany, UK, Australia, USA, France, and the Netherlands, the first three having title registration systems and the other three practicing deed registrations system. 2. Analysis of replicability of each of these systems in the Indian context. 3. Comparative analysis of laws regarding maintenance of land title records in four Indian states viz. Maharashtra, Karnataka, Punjab and West Bengal, covering each of the four regions of the country. 4. The author’s evidence-based recommendations on reforms required in the Indian land registration system. This book is a must-read for practitioners of law relating to land and property, and for policy makers looking at land-record reform as part of larger economic reforms. Law students aiming to understand the Indian land registration system, and how land registration is done around the world, will also benefit greatly from this work.
