Professors Rennie and Cusine provide a succinct narrative on the law relating to the execution of deeds. They set the subject in its historical context, and then examine the present law as it applies to deeds before and after the Requirements of Writing (Scotland) Act 1995.
They provide an authoritative outline of the law pre-1995, a knowledge of which is still essential for many purposes, and then explain the 1995 Act and its practical effects.
