The Scots Law of Succession is essential reading for all those who
require a comprehensive guide to this important area of law. Written
in a clear and readable style, this text provides an in-depth analysis
of the core elements of the law as well as commentary on the
background and possible difficulties of interpretation of the rules
of succession. Where appropriate, the author explains how the law
of succession relates to other relevant areas of the law, including
property law, family law and trusts.
Since neither statute nor case law provides complete answers to
many of the questions commonly arising, the book will assist both
students and practitioners in the logical working through of solutions
by emphasising the principled system of rules and presumptions of
law governing succession. Examples and illustrations are provided
throughout the text. This new edition takes into account the Family
Law (Scotland) Act
2006
and the Civil Partnership Act
2004
with the
addition of new cases and updates to statutory entitlements.
