A general misconception prevails among young
students especially those who have not yet touched on
conveyancing that succession prior to the Succession Act
1965 is of historic interest only. It is well, therefore, that
intestate succession to Realty and Personalty prior to
1967 is covered to a fair extent in Chapter 12.
The subjects of the four Chapters in Part 4 — Licences,
Servitudes, Covenants and Security, compress an amount
of law into a readable and understandable exposition.
However, in Section 25 of Chapter 18, the statement to
the effect that a prior registered mortgage may not take
priority over a subsequent unregisterable one demands an
explanation or an instance of the rare circumstances
where this might occur.
Subject to the points made above being dealt with in an
errata/addenda sheet, this book would serve as a useful
primer for Law Students preparing for academic or
professional examinations. However, Law Students
would be ill-advised to treat it as a substitute for Wylie.
The book will be welcomed particularly by students of
courses for Auctioneers', Surveyors', Bankers' and
Building Societies Officials' Institutes'examinations and
in addition should prove an eminently readable book for
the interested layman.
The marathon task of writing a book for students on
the basic concepts of Land Law under the constraint of
space must not be underestimated. It is a useful addition
to the expanding collection of Irish Law Texts.
