​Academics have been welcomed into the Property Litigation Association (PLA) for the first time in a bid to strengthen ties with academia and promote property law to undergraduates.

Of the nine new academic members, three are from Cambridge University, and the others from King’s College, London and the universities of Oxford, Aston, Reading, Southampton and Hull. PLA chair Bryan Johnston said: ‘The drive, motivation and enthusiasm of these members will enrich the PLA and contribute immensely to our aims. They are the leading minds in their specialist areas and it is fundamental that their knowledge and expertise be captured at the practice end of real estate litigation.’
