Foundations in Law

I LOVED doing this series!  I originally wrote it in 2011 and then updated it in 2018.

It looks at the development of landlord and tenant law historically and discusses various issues and their history.  I enjoyed doing this series so much that it inspired me to set up a whole new blog, the history of law blog, which, sadly, I have had to park for a while due to pressure of work but which I will go back to one day (so far I have got up to the end of Henry 11).

There is an ebook version of the 'foundation' series, which you can buy here, which was updated slightly.
