Description
Lexis Nexis Law of Easements and Licences edition 2024 by B B Katiyar
The first edition of this legal classic on the Law of Easements was published in 1925. The book has travelled almost ten decades and is now in its seventeenth Edition, a testament to enduring appeal and reliability.
This edition has been revised with a view to retain the originality and basic features of the treatise, while enriching it with latest case law and contemporary developments. With some of the sections being borrowed from English law, it encompasses a critical evaluation of common law practice followed in India with English and American law on easement. This work also underlines the distinction between lease and license with commendable clarity and provides a hands-on-approach to learning with each chapter.
