A quick post … I am just doing my homework for the next round of Land Law tutorials, and struck by this sentence, from Baxter v Mannion [2011] 1 WLR 1594 at 1595. There are reasons for the lack of reference to cases, since this was dealing with recent legislation, but still, pretty restrained of the CA. It does note that counsel did use a few cases. In spite of its lack of historical mooring, I expect my students will be glad about the now-unusual shortness of the case-light report (a mere 10 pages, not counting annexed legislation).
