22. SQE Case Studies in Property Law: Application of Legal Principles
At SQE Property Law & Land Law, we believe that a deep understanding and application of legal principles is essential for success in the SQE exam and in real-world practice. To help you grasp these principles better, we have compiled a series of case studies that illustrate how legal concepts are applied in property law. In this blog post, we will delve into some of these case studies to give you a taste of what you can expect.
1. Case Study 1: Adverse Possession
Adverse possession is a complex concept in property law where someone gains ownership of a piece of land by possessing it for a certain period of time, typically 12 years. In our case study, we explore the application of adverse possession in a scenario where a property owner neglects a small parcel of land attached to their property. We analyze the legal requirements, defenses, and implications of adverse possession, helping you understand the intricacies of this principle.
2. Case Study 2: Easements
Easements are rights over another person’s land. In our case study, we explore a real-life scenario where two adjacent properties have an easement enabling one property owner to pass through the other’s land for access. We break down the legal elements of easements and discuss their creation, termination, and enforcement. By examining this case study, you will gain a deeper understanding of how easements work in property law.
3. Case Study 3: Restrictive Covenants
Restrictive covenants are agreements that limit the use or enjoyment of land. In our case study, we analyze a situation where a property owner wishes to build an extension that breaches a restrictive covenant. We dissect the legal principles surrounding restrictive covenants, such as their creation, enforceability, and possible remedies for breach. This case study will enhance your knowledge of restrictive covenants and their impact on property rights.
4. Case Study 4: Co-ownership
Co-ownership is a common scenario where multiple individuals share ownership of a property. In our case study, we explore the implications of co-ownership when one owner wishes to sell their share without the consent of the other owners. We examine the legal framework surrounding co-ownership, including the creation of trusts, the rights and responsibilities of co-owners, and the methods of severing a joint tenancy. This case study will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of co-ownership in property law.
These case studies are just a glimpse of the extensive knowledge and expertise we bring to our SQE preparation courses at SQE Property Law & Land Law.
