Some things are simply built to last. In this week’s NLJ, Andrew Francis, barrister at Serle Court, looks at six pieces of property legislation which passed into law on the same day 100 years ago and which remain familiar friends to property lawyers today

Francis looks at their legacy, effect and continuing impact in the present day. He pays tribute to those who drove the change—the legislation met with some political resistance from ‘interests opposing reform, such as those afraid that changes to the status quo might lead to a redistribution of wealth’.
