Abstract

A leading property theorist who has spent three decades dismantling ‘deflationary’ views of property law, James Penner returns to the topic in Property Rights: A Re-Examination. The book does not aim to provide a novel account. Instead, Penner addresses and criticizes certain developments in property theory over the last twenty years or so, while also defending some of his established stances and their implications. Along the way, he also makes larger claims about law and provides helpful discussions of key private law concepts such as ouster, nuisance, etc.
