Cambridge University Press ebook Australian Property Law (Enhanced edition): Principles

Australian Property Law: Principles to Practice is an engaging, student-friendly introduction to property law in Australia. Covering substantive law and procedural matters, this textbook presents the law of both personal and real property in a contemporary light. Australian Property Law details how property law practice continues to be transformed by technology and provides insights into contemporary challenges and risks in the discipline. Taking a thematic approach, the text begins by placing familiar perspectives into a context of practical issues such as technology and rights to the human body, the boundaries of property and the sharing economy, and the role of social purpose in property law. It then covers possession of goods and land, land tenure, estates and future interests and property registration systems for both land and personal property, and includes chapters on Indigenous land rights and native title, social housing, Crown land and ethics. Complex concepts are explained and contextualised by linking case law and legislation to practical applications in the field. Each chapter is supported by digital tools for self-assessment, including case and legislation boxes with links to the full source online, links to useful online resources, multiple-choice questions, end-of-chapter review questions, and longer narrative problems that challenge students to apply their knowledge to realistic hypothetical scenarios. Australian Property Law provides an essential introduction to the principles and practice of property law in an ever-changing technological environment.
