Agreed. There is an excellent recent chapter by Bill Swadling entitled “treehold” about the law in England and Wales. It includes some Scottish case law, but we could do with a Scottish version. bloomsbury.com/uk/modern-stud…

Yes, what a great conference in an amazing setting for the MSPL - Modern Studies in Property Law 2024 conference. Thanks to Land Law , all other organisers, the helpful porters Queens' College , all presenters, and all the nice folk attending.

It is difficult to see how a house swap could be ‘in the course of business’ as businesses are not in the habit of swapping houses. It is also interesting that the updated guidance is introduced by the word “Errata”. gov.scot/publications/s…

Conveyancing 2023 has now been published.

This an extremely cool annual publication, profits from which which fund PhD scholarships in Scots private law: a brilliant example of investing in the future of the discipline.

Not nearly my area of law - but quite interesting. Change impending in the laws dealing with taking security over Scotch whisky, for all bottle and cask collectors out there... dlapiper.com/en/insights/to…

One thing that I feel we are not perhaps as clear in explaining in teaching as we could be in law is the importance of procedure. There is a temptation to view it as practice related with minimal doctrinal input but it shapes argument in cases and consequently decisions.

On 23 October 2024, the Centres for Commercial Law and Scots Law co-hosted a celebratory launch for Dr Chike Emedosi's new book 'The Transfer of Rights in Securitisations: A Law and Economics Analysis'. Read more here: abdn.ac.uk/law/news/23732/ Chike Emedosi

Tuition fee discourse again in scotland. Any discussion should consider that as a result of the policy we cap places for domestic students, scottish students ending up leaving scotland, and student maintenance is not great. Every decision has consequences.
