Justice Alexander Osei Tutu demonstrates a finesse in legal thinking that few can match. This book comes to complement his bourgeoning legal scholarship and serves to enrich the literature in the diverse substantive and procedural fields of law the two volumes cover. Lawyers, Judges, scholars and students will truly find the book a handy source material in their endeavours.

This book is not just another addition to myriads of works on Ghanaian land law but more importantly a critical perspective on aspects of our law that have been significantly affected by provisions of the new Land Act 2020 and the groundbreaking modifications being made by our Supreme Court to land law and customary law at a rather fast pace than before. The author does not merely synthesize these new developments but seeks to deploy probing scholarship in exploring these contemporary trends in Ghanaian law.

The audacity of the author to pinpoint manifest problematic dimensions of the provisions of the new Land Act in relation to well known doctrines like allodial title, eminent domain, and spousal property rights provides unique enthusiasm that propels the reader to seek to engage other topics in different chapters of the book so as to arrive at the destination the author is gravitating towards with his thought provoking and critical expositions.

Undoubtedly, the book deals with themes that are carefully selected in terms of currency, relevancy and utility to lawyers, judges, law makers, law students and members of the public. This great work must certainly be read by everyone who is determined to appreciate recalibration of many areas of Ghanaian law in contemporary times.
