"Since the last edition, the strict application of the “good working rule” in Shelfer’s case in rights of light cases has provoked a backlash first from the Law Commission and then from the Supreme Court. The twentieth edition: summarises and discusses the recommendations of the Law Commission in their report “Rights to Light” (Law Com No.356); analyses the decision of the Supreme Court in Lawrence v Fen Tigers; contains a new treatment of section 62 of the Law of Property Act 1925; has a revised Chapter on water rights; includes the latest case law on gates; incorporates all the recent significant cases in the United Kingdom and Commonwealth jurisdictions." --Publisher's website.
