The numerus clausus (or ‘closed list’) principle is of crucial importance when addressing the content question of legal property rights in land. The Law of Property Act 1925 (LPA 1925) creates a distinction between legal estates and legal interests. As a result of s 1 of LPA 1925, there are now only two permissible legal estates in land. The chapter then explores the content of a freehold and of a lease, and covers the vital question of why the LPA 1925 imposed this limit on the types of permissible legal estate in land. The facts of Hill v Tupper and Keppell v Bailey offer particular examples of a more general question that land law has to tackle when deciding on the content of legal interests in land.

All books in this flagship series contain carefully selected substantial extracts from key cases, legislation, and academic debate, providing able students with a stand-alone resource. This chapter illustrates the significance of land and, hence, of land law. It concentrates on the features that make land special and the distinctive legal rules produced by those features. The chapter explains that the focus of land law is on private property rights to use land. It then demonstrates some important themes of land law by examining an important land law case involving a dispute between an occupier of land and a bank. It is noted that the special features of land sharpen the court’s dilemma when deciding between competing claims to the use of land. It also considers the differing judicial philosophies that may influence a court’s approach to resolving this dilemma.

The Jewish Canadian writer Miriam Waddington returned repeatedly to the subject of the Spanish Civil War, searching for hope amid the ruins of Spanish democracy. The conflict, a prelude to World War II, inspired an outpouring of literature and volunteerism. My paper argues for Waddington’s unique poetic perspective, in which she represents the Holocaust as the Spanish Civil War’s outgrowth while highlighting the deeply personal repercussions of the war – consequences for women, for the earth, and for community. Waddington’s poetry connects women’s rights to human rights, Canadian peace to European war, and Jewish persecution to Spanish carnage.
