The Law of Property Act, 1922

Abstract

I propose to give you this afternoon a brief and very imperfect sketch of the changes made in the English Law of Real Property by the Law of Property Act, 1922. When I tell you that the Act traverses the whole field of real property law, contains 191 sections, 16 schedules, and occupies 311 pages of the public general statutes for the year, you will see how impossible it is for me, within the limits of this paper, to give anything like a full and accurate account of the many changes it makes in the law, and indeed I can only deal with the subject in the barest outline.
