Some previous chapters are replaced with HDB Leases (Chapter 11) and Green Leases (Chapter 12), which are topics that are of current interest.

This edition looks at recent decisions, including case law from other jurisdictions, on the National Land Code, and analyses their relationship to the operation of the Code. In particular, references are made to cases in contract law, and equity, trusts and remedies, which are influential and relevant in the operation of land matters. This is especially so, where the cases are applicable to the principles of statutory contract law and to local influences on equitable principles.
