Property law examines some of the fundamental concepts, histories, legal relationships, and competing perspectives for allocating ownership (including rights of access, possession, use, and alienation) of resources and other types of property interests. By the end of the course, students should be able to understand several fundamental concepts and principles of property law in Canada, with a focus on Ontario, including some or all of the following (depending upon the instructor’s expertise and pedagogical design): the role of property law, its justifications, the elements of ownership, sources of property law, possession in property law, public and private property distinctions, access to property and resources, tenure and estates, the role of equity, joint and concurrent ownership, easements, covenants, leases, licenses, mortgages, and land title systems, including Aboriginal title. They should also be able to identify and explain the potential decision-making of courts and other actors in property disputes based on different factual scenarios, as well as understand and make arguments for and against different perspectives in property law and its reform. Students will be able to describe and evaluate some of the ways that property laws shape and regulate individual, familial, collective, community, and federal relationships. Also depending on their instructor’s expertise and pedagogical design, students should be able to contextualize some of these principles in different historical periods, other legal orders (including Indigenous legal orders), and from interdisciplinary or critical viewpoints that prepare them for important upper-year courses (on legal history, theories of private law, environmental law, trusts, comparative law, the law of charities, wills & estates, and Indigenous rights & title).
