Property Law Perspectives III: Volume 132 (Ius Commune: European and Comparative Law Series, IUS) - Softcover

The Young Property Lawyers Forum (YPLF) is an informal international network with an annual conference that gives young property law researchers the opportunity to present their research to both young and established property law scholars from around the world. Property Law Perspectives III contains selected contributions from the fourth edition of the Young Property Lawyers Forum and Masterclass. The book offers an interesting selection of recent developments in the broad field of property law, including contributions on constitutional property law (with topics such as expropriation procedures, South African tenure, and expropriation of waterfalls for hydropower development), national private property law (with for example chapters on the English Land Registration Act 2002 and on virtual property), and European and comparative property law (with contributions about French fiducie versus trust, the global art market, and factory machinery bought under hire-purchase agreements). The wide variety of topics discussed by a young and promising generation of property lawyers make this book a fascinating read for anyone interested in developments in property law.
