Part 1 reconsiders and refutes the bundle of rights picture of property and the related nominalist theories of property; Part 2 explores in detail the Hohfeldian theory of jural relations; Part 3 considers the form and justification of property rights, beginning with the relation an owner's liberty to use her property and her 'right to exclude', with particular reference to the tort of nuisance, anb concludes by addressing the ever-vexed question of property rights in land.
