Professor Peter Butt
Peter Butt has been drafting a land law for an economic zone in Dubai. This will introduce the concepts of the Torrens system of land registration into that area of the middle east, along with a form of strata title. It is thought that this is the first time that Torrens-style legislation has been introduced into that part of the world. The law will be in force before the end of 2006.
