The University of Nottingham Property Law Research Group was established in July 2024 and has enjoyed a very successful first year of activity. It has held 6 in person sessions which have covered a wide range of property law issues including unmarried cohabitation law, property rights in outer space, constructive trusts and corporate insolvency law and bequests of land to ecclesiastical institutions in 12th century England. These sessions clearly demonstrate the wide range and depth of knowledge, experience and innovative research on property law related issues currently ongoing within our Law School. A full list of our sessions which have run in the current year is provided below.
2nd October 2024: Group Launch Event – Session led by Chris Sargeant and Dr Sam Bannister
