Publication Day! It has been fantastic working with @EmilyWalsh3 on this new book for @OUPLaw, that focuses on how the principles of land law apply in practice.

The latest updates to #Borkowski's Law of #Succession have just been published by @OUPLaw. They include discussion of Kettridge v Adam on the definition of #cohabitant in #FamilyProvision (thanks to @JulietCBrook), & Rahman v Hassan on #DonatioMortisCausa. bit.ly/2YEOfU7
