This volume of essays on property law and comparative law was published in memory of Professor David Carey Miller. Throughout his career, David enjoyed the respect and esteem of his mentors, friends, colleagues and students within the School of Law at Aberdeen University, and in the wider legal communities of Scotland and his native South Africa. The essays in this volume have been organised in broad terms according to a scheme that will be familiar to those who study Scots private law, and indeed civilian systems more generally. The first nine substantive essays are concerned with property law. The next four chapters focus on the law of obligations – one being concerned with delict, one with contract and one with unjustified enrichment. The final, and longest, chapter in the book considers a neglected aspect of the law of succession. Thus the core themes that emerge from this volume reflect and engage critically with many of Carey Miller’s own scholarly concerns
