Boundary Disputes

Boundary Disputes, 2nd edition Practice and precedents
2nd edition

Boundary disputes can lead to a particularly painful form of litigation. In addition to the strong feelings of disputants, challenges for practitioners arise from increasingly complex legal principles, a wide range of dispute resolution methods (including specialist tribunals and mediation) and a greater focus on costs.

The second edition of this book has been much expanded and updated to offer lawyers and litigants-in-person:

• guidance from an experienced practitioner to help identify and assess the evidence a summary of the funding options
• a concise exposition of the law showing how it applies to practical problems
• detailed coverage of the rules relating to the First-Tier Tribunal (Land Registration Division) and how it has worked in practice.

Statutory extracts are given in the appendix for quick reference and an expanded range of precedents are included on the accompanying CD for ease of customisation.
