I have had the privilege to peruse through this book by the learned author, Justice Osei Tutu. And I have one adjective to describe the book: 'IMPRESSIVE'! The learned author and Justice of the High Court adds to the growing list of Justices of Ghana's Superior Courts who have authored law books which have indubitably contributed to enrich legal research and practice in this country. Particularly for practicing lawyers at the Bar, it is refreshing to have our judges author books, to not only add to the existing legal literature but to appreciate the mindset of our judges and perspective from the Bench, in whose bosom the law lies. Judges, as public officials, I surmise, have a great deal to contribute to demystifying principles of law and its practice at our courts; and this is what the author has accomplished by this book. The learned author, since his elevation to the High Court in 2013 has had a reputation for being a stickler for details and affirnity for scholarly writings and judgments - a skill such that he effortlessly brings to bear in this book. I thus strongly recommend this book to lawyers, law students and lecturers, who would without a smidgen of doubt, greatly find it instructive in their legal endeavours. Yaw Boafo Esq. National President, Ghana Bar Association Justice Alexander Osei Tutu demonstrates a finesse in legal thinking that few can match. This book comes to complement his bourgeoning legal scholarship and serves to enrich the literature in the diverse substantive and procedural fields of law the two volumes cover. Lawyers, Judges, scholars and students will truly find the book a handy source material in their endeavours. Professor Ernest Kofi Abotsi Dean, Faculty of Law, UPSA This book is not just another addition to myriads of works on Ghanaian land law but more importantly a critical perspective on aspects of our law that have been significantly affected by provisions of the new Land Act 2020 and the groundbreaking modifications being made by our Supreme Court to land law and customary law at a rather fast pace than before. The author does not merely synthesize these new developments but seeks to deploy probing scholarship in exploring these contemporary trends in Ghanaian law. The audacity of the author to pinpoint manifest problematic dimensions of the provisions of the new Land Act in relation to well known doctrines like allodial title, eminent domain, and spousal property rights provides unique enthusiasm that propels the reader to seek to engage other topics in different chapters of the book so as to arrive at the destination the author is gravitating towards with his thought provoking and critical expositions. Undoubtedly, the book deals with themes that are carefully selected in terms of currency, relevancy and utility to lawyers, judges, law makers, law students and members of the public. This great work must certainly be read by everyone who is determined to appreciate recalibration of many areas of Ghanaian law in contemporary times. Dr. Ernest Owusu-Dapaa Dean, Faculty of Law Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi.

This book consists of six related but separate parts combined in thirteen continuous chapters of land law. The thirteen chapters are fundamentally concerned with the development of the customary land law through the Ghanaian courts. In the first part, the main concepts underlying land law as well as the general characteristics of land are traced and analysed. The second segment deals with the law relating to interests in land, including modes of acquisition and loss of title. Tenancies and pledges are examined in their own right. Part 3 considers the nature of the customary law family, focusing on the composition of the family, the rights of members and the role of the head of family. In Part 4, rules regarding transfer of interests are considered within the general body of case law. This is followed logically by a consideration of the applicable doctrines of English law in Part 5. The final segment directs analysis at the impact of state legislative activity on customary law.The rules of customary law were developed from pre-colonial times. It might be thought that the rules might be full of hoary anachronisms. The continuous decisions of the courts and the full impact of legislative activity have been the guiding hand in steering the customary land law in consonance with social and economic developments. No one argues that the customary law is in need of purgation. Principles derived from English equity jurisprudence have steadily worked their way into customary notions, particularly in the form of acquiescence, introducing equity's peculiar element of fairness into the relevant customary law rules. Some of the perceived harshness or inadequacy of the customary land law have also been cured by legislation.The present work is not a mere rearrangement of emphasis of the land law. I have attempted to bring into one coherent view the ideas expressed by the established jurists. The law we work with is constantly changing. It is constantly between the hammer and the anvil, changed and reshaped by judicial and statutory intervention. New answers are found as problems without judicial precedent press for statutory solution. Where authoritative answers cannot be found for such problems, I have relied on the evidence of actual social practice. Overall this book captures the restlessness of the indigenous law and the constant push for change. Several of the topics that dominated the old texts are receding. Statute law now overshadows many areas of the customary law.There is considerable imbalance in the rendering of the customary land law of Ghana. Although this is a book on the customary land law of Ghana, a disproportionate number of both actual examples and case-law are drawn from southern Ghana. It reflects the general lacuna in current literature. This deficiency points to the urgent necessity of prosecuting a similar task in relation to the customary law of northern Ghana.

This title was first published in 2003. Bringing together the two fields of land reform and law, this volume examines the role the law and lawyers can, should, and do play in developing countries in the evolution of land policies, in land tenure reform, and in the reform of land use and urban planning. Providing both a theoretical and practical perspective it discusses the role of law in both urban land reform, concentrating on reforms in land use and town and country planning law and general national land reform, looking at specific case studies and at more general themes. It provides a coherent set of ideas and philosophies about land reform through the medium of law, which have been developed through reflection and action over a considerable period of time.

Relating land law constantly to its first principles, the book proceeds to explore the subject against the background of its contemporary social, environmental and human rights dimensions. This edition takes account of relevant legislation, provides commentary on case law developments, and places English law firmly in the context of both European law and the comparative common law tradition.

A clear and concise introduction to the land law of England and Wales written in the Clarendon style: as a letter to a friend, with a minimum of footnotes and statutory material. It explains the origins of land law in the feudal system, its transformation by the legislation of 1925, and the modern regime in which registration is the key to the validity and enforceability of interests in land. Elizabeth Cooke introduces the building blocks of land law, namely property rights in land, and explains how they have evolved by a mixture of design and accident. The book explores the unique role of the trust in English law, and the many complications that can arise where ownership of land is shared (whether concurrently or consecutively). Throughout the book the themes of management of complexity in land law, and the tension between dynamic and static security, are examined. The law of mortgages, leases, easements and covenants is explained. The third edition has been updated with important developments in land law, including recent decisions of the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court, and reform proposals by the Law Commission. Written in an accessible style, this book is an essential read for all those coming to the subject for the first time.
