Sale of Land aims to provide an account of this law within a reasonable compass, including discussions of major subject areas that commonly arise. LexisNexis NZ is pleased to have acquired this highly popular textbook, published by D W McMorland in 2022.
The book emphasises that the sale of land is governed by the general law of contract, just like any other contract. It discusses matters of general application that arise more frequently. These include agency, misrepresentation, contract formation, and aspects of remedies.
The book also discusses matters particular to the sale of land, such as title or settlement. These require full discussion.
This edition of the book, based on the ADLS/REINZ Agreement for Sale and Purchase of Real Estate 11th edition, states the law as at 31 December 2021. It includes changes in the relevant statute law and significant judgments of the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court. It also discusses the impact of the computerisation of banking procedures on the conveyancing process.
