This course considers select aspects of the law concerning core transactions in the English law concerned with property transfers, in particular contracts for the sale of land, property transfers, declarations of trusts, and wills. The predominant focus of the lectures is the safeguarding and realisation of the ‘real’ intention of the disponor in gratuitous transactions.
Lectures will explore how apparently trivial matters, such as requirements of form, have generated doctrinal complexity and exposed competing policy conceptions of how the law should support owners in arranging dispositions of their property. The course will also consider how English law deals with the problem of sham transactions as well as touching upon elements of the law relating to interpretation and vitiation of consent to the transaction. |
