How to answer problem questions in Real Property (LAWS2017 & LAWS5012)

This is the one guide you need to know all about answering a problem question in Real Property courses (both LAWS2017 & LAWS5012). These notes give you a structure showing you how to answer problem questions and how to identify relevant issues.

These notes were originally created for Postgraduate Juris Doctor LAWS5012 course. But serves the same contents as LAWS2017 which is a prohibition. Therefore you can use these for both LAWS2017 and LAWS5012.

These notes include all relevant authorities (case law and legislation) where required, and includes factual details of cases where needed. This will allow you to distinguish the problem question with the authorities you are using.

I have created this structure based on 3 main resources. They are;

• Textbook readings (Land Law – Peter Butt)
• Relevant case law and legislation
• Class notes and teacher handouts
