A Sinhala-language work on the law of rights of way in Sri Lanka, written by Kapila Gamini Jayasinghe and published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co. The entire text is in Sinhala, with no English translation, so it will suit readers who work comfortably in the language.
The subject is the legal right of access across land — the question of who may use a path or track, and on what basis. Disputes tied to rights of way lie behind a great many land cases heard in this country, yet the law governing them has not been gathered into a single work of Sinhala legal literature. That absence is what this book sets out to answer, bringing the rules on rights of way together in one place. According to the publisher, it also sets down a good deal of material on the subject that has not previously entered the legal literature.
Readers are likely to be lawyers, law students, surveyors, land officers and property owners dealing with access disputes in practice. M. D. Gunasena is an established Colombo publisher with a long list of Sinhala legal and educational titles, and this belongs to that line of practical legal writing rather than to academic commentary.
