Land Law provides a thorough discussion and analysis of real property law and conveyancing in New Zealand.

This service gives extensive and practical coverage to the various rights and interests that landowners and property users enjoy. It deals extensively with the question of how title to land is recorded and transferred between owners, as well as dealing with issues around the renting, leasing or utilising of property belonging to others.  The service combines full analysis of the law relating to real property with a practical problem-solving focus.

First published in 1995, Land Law’s team of updating authors brings together property law experts from law schools, legal practice, as well as Land Information New Zealand. This results in a balanced and comprehensive view of an important area of law. 

Land Law is a logical guide for defence, prosecution, corporate lawyers, the judiciary, police, academics and students.  This service is suitable for anyone who is required to provide advice or research any aspect of New Zealand land law.
