2 41st ANNUAL SERIES BLUNDELL LECTURES TOPICAL ISSUES IN PROPERTY LAW The Blundell Series continues its tradition of forward thinking discussions on key developments in property law and practice. These lively debates are an indispensable practical aid to all practitioners and make a substantial annual contribution to the development of the professions involved.

3 BLUNDELL LECTURES TOPICAL ISSUES IN PROPERTY LAW PARTY WALLS: WE WERE ONCE GOOD NEIGHBOURS! Speakers: Stephen Bickford-Smith, Landmark Chambers and Alistair Redler, Delva Patman Redler LLP Chair: Caroline Shea QC The Party Wall etc Act 1996 has now been in force for 20 years. It has a potential and wide application to buildings, whether in London or elsewhere. But problems remain. To what extent does it create legally enforceable statutory duties? What happens on a change of ownership? How can potential future liabilities be enforced against owners and their successors? How does the exercise of powers under the Act sit with Land Registration? Are surveyors appointed under the Act liable for negligence? Stephen Bickford-Smith, barrister, and Alistair Redler, chartered surveyor, look at some of the current issues. CAN I REALLY RELY ON THE REGISTER OF TITLE? Speakers: Janet Bignell QC, Falcon Chambers and Joanna Lampert, Berwin Leighton Paisner LLP Chair: Kirk Reynolds QC Recent decisions of the Court of Appeal on the Land Registration 2002, such as Swift 1st Ltd v Chief Land Registrar and MacLeod v Gold Harp Properties Ltd, appear to be pulling in opposite directions in their vision of land registration. In light of recent authority and the present practice of the Land Registry, just how reliable is the Land Register as a safe indicator of title? Janet Bignell QC and Joanna Lampert, Partner at Berwin Leighton Paisner, tell all. Monday 13th June pm Monday 6th June pm The Blundell lectures are delivered by leading experts who tackle topical issues in real estate law in a thought provoking and authoritative fashion. The excellent written papers form an invaluable bank of knowledge on the topics covered. Jane Fox-Edwards, Consultant, Allen & Overy LLP

4 HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT? IMPLIED TERMS IN PROPERTY INSTRUMENTS Speakers: Timothy Fancourt QC, Falcon Chambers and James Ayliffe QC, Wilberforce Chambers Chair: Stephen Jourdan QC Following the recent decision of the Supreme Court in Marks & Spencer v BHP Paribas Securities Services Trust Co. (Jersey), what is now the test for implying terms into property instruments? How does it fit with the principles for interpreting contracts? What difficulties and uncertainties remain? Tim Fancourt QC and James Ayliffe QC explain. Monday 20th June pm FOUL! PENALTY CLAUSES IN PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS Speakers: Mark Wonnacott QC, Maitland Chambers and Elizabeth Fitzgerald, Falcon Chambers Chair: Guy Fetherstonhaugh QC The correct approach to what is and is not a penalty clause has been comprehensively considered and re-formulated by the Supreme Court in Cavendish Square Holding BV v Talal El Makdessi. What implications are there for property transactions? What about deposits? Mark Wonnacott QC and Elizabeth Fitzgerald, barrister, provide some thoughts.
