There is little doubt that virtual currencies are here to stay, and regulation is essential to gain a competitive advantage in this area. It remains to be seen what will happen going forward.

  • Easements Across Seven Jurisdictions Within Property
    www.theblackletter.co.uk!1 www.theblackletter.co.ukNeil Egan-Ronayne www.theblackletter.co.ukDecember 2015 Property Law Implied Easements Gerry has been in possession of a registered fee simple estate or ‘freehold’ estate since September 1990. Barton (Construction) Ltd were the registered owners of the unadopted service road that runs along the rear of Gerry’s property up until March 2015 whereupon Barton (Construction) Ltd sold the road to Hyde Ltd as part of a land package. Hyde Ltd has since established a business operation that uses the service road for access. As part of that process they have also erected a lockable gate across the public highway end of the road that is only accessible by using keys held by their employees. Gerry has for a continuous period used the service road in order to park his car and by assumption it is understood that Gerry does not park on the service road itself rather he uses it only as a means of access. When considering Gerry’s position in relation to his denial of access to the service road it would be prudent to refer to the common law position on easements.1 For an easement to be legally considered there are a number of criteria first established in Re Ellenborough Park2 which when met permit such a justification: I. A dominant tenement3 and a servient tenement burdened by the easement must be shown to exist. II. The easement must benefit the dominant tenement. III. The dominant and servient tenements must fall under different ownership.4 IV.

  • A Brief Guide to English Land Law Land Law Is Concerned with The
    A Brief Guide to English Land Law Land Law is concerned with the legal relationships that people have with regard to land and affects each one of us in many ways in the course of our daily lives. Matters such as the basis upon which we reside in our own homes, access to our place of education or employment and even a visit to the shops or to the home of a friend can all raise issues directly related to land law. There are three main areas to be considered, having first established an answer to the question "What is 'land'?" Firstly, what are the various types of interest that can be acquired in land and by what means may one acquire these interests? Secondly, once acquired, how may these interests be retained and protected? Lastly, how may interests such as these be effectively transferred? Land Law provides us with the legal framework within which to determine these issues. Whether Roman practices with regard to land transactions survived in Northern Europe is a controversial question. It has recently been argued that charters from as far north as modern Belgium from the seventh to the ninth centuries show traces of Roman conveyancing practices. In the case of England, however, we can be reasonably confident that all knowledge of Roman conveyancing practices was lost in the centuries that followed the Anglo-Saxon invasions (fifth and sixth centuries). When the Anglo-Saxons began to book land transactions in the seventh century, that practice represented a new beginning, although it may have been a beginning that was influenced by surviving Roman practices on the Continent.

  • Routes to Qualification As a Jersey Solicitor Or Advocate
    April 2016 (4th edn) ROUTES TO QUALIFICATION AS A JERSEY SOLICITOR OR JERSEY ADVOCATE If you aspire to qualify as a lawyer in Jersey, the steps set out below are a guide to how to achieve this. By ‘qualify’ we mean become an advocate or solicitor of the Royal Court of Jersey. It is important to remember that many people work in a variety of roles in Jersey law offices without formally qualifying as a Jersey advocate or solicitor. There are two kinds of qualified Jersey lawyers, regulated by the Advocates and Solicitors (Jersey) Law 1997. Jersey advocates have rights of audience before the Magistrate’s Court, the Royal Court and the Jersey Court of Appeal whereas Jersey solicitors do not (though they may represent clients in the Petty Debts Court and appear in summonses before the Greffier, the Master and the Registrars of the Family Division). Apart from this, there is little difference between the two branches of the legal profession: both take the same Jersey law exams; both may become partners in law firms; and both often do similar kinds of work for clients on a day-to-day basis. A person who qualifies as a Jersey solicitor is eligible to become a Jersey advocate after practising for three years without the need to take any further examinations. These notes have been prepared by the Institute of Law for general information; detailed questions about particular matters (e.g. whether your law degree is recognised as satisfying the academic stage) should be addressed to the Deputy Bailiff’s Office.

  • SCOTLAND 1. Real Property
    UK: SCOTLAND Kenneth G C Reid Professor of Property Law, University of Edinburgh and a Scottish Law Commissioner1 1. Real Property Law – Introduction 1.1 General Features and Short History The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland comprises one state, four countries and three jurisdictions. The jurisdictions are (i) England and Wales (ii) Scotland and (iii) Northern Ireland. Each jurisdiction has its own courts, its own lawyers, and its own law. The state has a common parliament (the House of Commons and House of Lords), a common executive, and a common supreme court (the House of Lords), all based in London. But in recent years there has been administrative and legislative devolution both to Scotland and to Northern Ireland. A separate parliament for Scotland was established in 1999, with power to legislate on most areas of private law.2 The union between Scotland and England took place in 1707.3 Before then the countries were separate states. In the medieval period the laws of Scotland and England had many points in common. In particu- lar the feudal system of land tenure, which reached England with the Norman Conquest in 1066, was introduced to Scotland in the course of the twelfth century. From the sixteenth century onwards, how- ever, there was a substantial reception of Roman law in Scotland (but not, on the whole, in England). In Scotland, as in many other European countries, the jurists of the ius commune were studied, and their writings applied in the courts. National legal education did not begin properly in Scotland until the early eighteenth century, and before that time law students from Scotland often studied in the universities of Europe, at first mainly in France and, after the Reformation, in the Netherlands.

  • The Nature of Land Ownership and the Protection of the Purchaser
    Afe Babalola University: Journal of Sustainable Development Law and Policy Vol. 1 Iss. 1 (2013) pp. 1-20 THE NATURE OF LAND OWNERSHIP AND THE PROTECTION OF THE PURCHASER Clement C Chigbo* ABSTRACT This article examines the nature of ownership of land and derivative or subordinate real- rights under English law drawing some comparison with Romanic-Dutch ownership while arguing that the Anglo-American estate’ or interest’ in land is a mere semantic conundrum. It is the position of this writer that the concept of ownership in English law of real property, which dominantly influences our real property law in Nigeria and other common law jurisdictions such as the Bahamas and Jamaica, has not brought the desirable clarity to our real property jurisprudence/practice in Nigeria. The unfortunate problems faced by purchasers of real estate in some common law jurisdiction are also briefly examined in this article. The article seeks to advance a solution to these problems and in this context the writer strongly suggests that a land registration system of some model should be adopted in Nigeria and the Bahamas to protect purchasers of real estates and guarantee greater security of title and clarity in our conveyancing practice. INTRODUCTION Land is elemental. It is where life begins and it is where life ends. Land provides the physical substratum for human activity; it is the essential base of all social and commercial interaction. Land law is, accordingly, that part of the law which governs the allocation of rights and obligations in relation to ‘real’ or ‘immovable’ property. We spend scarcely a moment out of contact with terra firma and our very existence is constantly sustained and shaped by the natural and constructed world around us.

Abstract – Irish legal education is under increasing pressure to reform and reinvent itself in the face of various challenges, especially those implied by the Bologna process. In line with two of the main priorities of the process, namely employability and student-centred learning, a growing number of Irish law faculties have incorporated, or are planning to incorporate, more practice-related components into the law curriculum and, in some cases, a fully fledged Clinical Legal Education programme. This is an important shift in the paradigm of legal education in Ireland which should be welcomed and encouraged by all stakeholders – students, academics, practitioners, judges and those involved in myriad capacities in the administration of justice.

  • Role of Equity and the Application of English Land Law in the Malaysian Torrens System
    ROLE OF EQUITY AND THE APPLICATION OF ENGLISH LAND LAW IN THE MALAYSIAN TORRENS SYSTEM Teo Keang Sood* Abstract Tis paper looks at the applicability of English land law and general equitable principles in the context of the Malaysian Torrens system. Notwithstanding section 6 of the Civil Law Act 1956 and some observations to the contrary in case law, it is argued that relevant aspects of English land law may continue to apply. As for general equitable principles, their application is supported by statutory provisions and case law. Tis is subject to their application not being in confict with the principle of indefeasibility and the caveat system provided for in the Malaysian Torrens statutes. I. Introduction Te extent to which English land law and general equitable principles are applicable in the Malaysian Torrens system is a vexed question. As a starting point, s 3, which is found in “Part II (General)” of the Civil Law Act 1956,1 provides, inter alia, for the general reception of English common law, rules of equity and statutes of general application in Malaysia in the circumstances specifed therein.2 However, s 6 of the same Act qualifes s 3 and categorically prohibits the application of English land law and equitable principles relating thereto. Section 6 reads as follows: Nothing [in Part II (General)] shall be taken to introduce into Malaysia or any of the States comprised therein any part of the law of England relating to the tenure or conveyance or * Professor, National University of Singapore. 1 Act 67 (Revised 1972). 2 Reception of the said common law, rules of equity and statutes of general application is allowed so far only as the circumstances of the States of Malaysia and their respective inhabitants permit and subject to such qualifcations as local circumstances render necessary.
