CAPÍTULO VIII: TIPOLOGÍA DE VIVIENDA PRODUCTIVA
8.4 ORIENTACIÓN DE LA VIVIENDA
Online distance learning
Part I of this module aims to introduce you to the most prominent area of tortious liability – negligence, and the elements which are required to establish liability are examined in detail.
Part II of this module aims to introduce you to the other forms of tortious liability including: occupier’s liability, trespass (to land and to the person), defamation and nuisance.
In all cases, the module seeks to develop a critical awareness of the issues which underpin the adversarial process and to develop the analytical and presentation skills involved in undertaking such cases. As the numbers of personal injury claims continue to rise and new areas of liability emerge, tort continues to be a crucial area of legal study.
Land Law
This module seeks to provide you with a broad introduction to the fundamental principles of land law including the concept of proprietary interests and the concept of competing priorities of interests in land.
The module has been developed bearing in mind the fundamental point that the law relating to land is unique because land is unique. No one piece of land is the same as another and so the law as developed over the last 900 and more years reflects that fact. Although in history land law is about large interests, the subject changed in the 20th century as the owner-occupier replaced the landlord as the dominant figure; in the later part of the century the owner-occupier couple replaces the single, usually male, owner. In the 21st century we may, for economic reasons, be seeing a return to the landlord – tenant relationship as the dominant feature. Although the subject is rooted in history it has enormous contemporary relevance. The module content stresses the contemporary nature of land law and historical material is only used where it is necessary to understand current land law principles.
European Union Law
This module aims to introduce you to the general constitutional and legislative structure of the European Union, and to provide you with a sound knowledge of the function and application of European Union Law (EU) in the areas of free movement of goods, the free movement of workers, freedom of establishment and the freedom to provide
services throughout the Member States. It also aims to equip you with an ability to look for, and deal with, the “European dimensions” present in various situations.
The module will explain the primary and secondary sources of EU law and will examine the ordinary legislative procedure, other decision making processes and the concepts of
direct and indirect effect.
The module will explain the key principles behind free movement of people. It will also examine the concept of State Liability and discuss how EU Law may be enforced.
Legal Research Methods
Building on the skills, knowledge and understanding developed at Level 4, this module is intended as preparation for the dissertation and as such will lead you through the process of a research project in law employing a variety of exercises culminating in an individual presentation of a dissertation proposal on an area of comparative law. You are required to show an informed and at the same time critical understanding of the fundamental legal principles which apply to research, including a consideration of comparative research, developing advanced level skills, reaching an understanding of research strategies and ethics.
Becoming a Reflective Learner
This module offers you the opportunity to
evaluate your progress in your studies and reflect upon your strengths and weaknesses. A thorough review of progress will be carried out, allowing you to draw upon your personal perceptions and those of your subject tutors. You will consider how to develop your experience so that you can broaden and deepen your skills to fulfil your future needs and improve performance.
As a result of discussions and personal reflection you will identify learning and experiential needs to promote your progress. You will research possible activities to enhance your learning, and investigate future contributions in support of your work.
Civil Liberties & Human Rights
Civil Liberties aims to introduce you to the respective roles of State and individual in areas such as police powers and civil liberties such as freedom of assembly and association, and freedom of expression. It creates an opportunity to examine the Human Rights
Act 1998 and the growing significance of the European Convention rights for the UK citizen. With issues such as European integration and state security currently in the news this continues to be a crucial area of legal study which prepares you for much of your subsequent studies.
