A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Legal notions of property

Legal notions of property deal with what the law means by “property,” the kinds of interests the law protects, and the distinction between ownership, possession, and lesser rights over things. For Land Law I, this topic is foundational because every later discussion on land, estates, interests, transfer, and remedies depends on understanding property as a legal relationship recognised and enforced by law.
