After 1925: Reflecting on 100 years of Property Legislation
Event Details

Speakers: Chief Master Karen Shuman, Professor James Lee, King’s College London, Professor Judith Bourne. Full agenda to follow.

In 1925 six Bills relating to property legislation received the Royal Assent which aimed to ‘simplify’ and ‘make certain’ all land transactions, as well as reduce the number of estates, and make negotiations more affordable.

• Much of that legislation has now been repealed and replaced but to what extent were these Acts successful in facilitating and securing dealings in land?
• Were the hopes of the legislators achieved?
• Were the objectives of the Acts accomplished, and if so, how?
• What further reforms were/are needed?
• Is more legislation required to ensure the secure, effective and affordable dealings in land and property?
• What should property regulation look like in 2125?

This conference seeks to reflect and analyse ‘after 1925’
