The Law of Property

The Law of Property offers a clear and authoritative introduction to property law for law students and practitioners across all Canadian common-law jurisdictions. Citing relevant cases and statutes from all common-law provinces and territories, the book covers a wide range of topics: from foundational subjects such as estates, Aboriginal title, co-ownership, mortgages, and easements, to more advanced areas including personal property security, equity and trusts, and wills and estates. This second edition incorporates relevant legal developments from the past five years and introduces a new chapter on information law, covering intellectual property, confidential information, and digital assets such as cryptocurrencies to reflect the evolving landscape of property in the digital age. Comprehensive yet approachable, The Law of Property guides readers through both the broad contours of the subject and its finer details, providing the clarity and depth needed to navigate Canadian property law with confidence.
