Fully Revised and updated from the first edition in 1991, this eagerly awaited title is the definitive book on corporeal moveables in Scots law. This new edition maintains the emphasis of the first on the distinctive relevant common law of Scotland in the areas original and derivative acquisition; protection of ownership and possession; and security and reservation of title. In a context of growing recognition of the unitary character of Scots property law, the new edition canvases relevant developments in legislation, case law, and an active modern juristic literature. Important topics covered in detail accession and specification; the abstract basis of acquisition; defective and reducible title; and acquisition under the Sale of Goods Act 1979.
