This is our print copy
(4th ed.). It is not
updated so use the
online version on Lexis
in preference (5th ed.)

Searching in Lexis: Choose key terms
These could be a phrase such as:
“express grant”
“recreational right”,
“prescriptive right”,
“right(s) annexed to land”
“restrictive covenant”
“exclusive possession” Lexis always searches words as a phrase, unless you instruct
otherwise and will return results with words in that order.
Or individual words, such as “prescription” “licence”
![Page 25: Land law 2014 15](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052509/55a73bd01a28abeb258b46c3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Searching in Lexis: Using Connectors
Connectors:
AND to find both terms anywhere in the document, e.g. “restrictive AND covenant”,
OR to find either of two terms, e.g. “land ORproperty”
Proximity connectors:
w/s to find both terms within the same sentence, e.g. “Registered W/S land”
w/p to find both terms within the same paragraph, e.g. “Registered W/P land”

Westlaw Search tips:
Case search enter the names of the parties without the “v”,
e.g. Tulk Moxhay
To search for words as a phrase in Westlaw, you need “quote marks”
E.g. “Family home”, “positive covenants”
Alternative endings – use !,
e.g. Covenant!
Too many results?
Try narrowing your search down or “Search Within”.

Westlaw: Refining your search
Connectors (as for Lexis):
AND to find both terms anywhere in the document,
e.g. “Service charges” AND covenants
OR to find either of two terms,
e.g. bankruptcy OR insolvency
Proximity connectors (different from Lexis): /s to find both terms within the same sentence, e.g.
“Service charges” /s covenants
/p to find both terms within the same paragraph
“Services charges” /p covenants

Lexis or Westlaw Certificates
In case the certificates from Lexis or Westlaw do not arrive in time, please do a screen shot of the screen confirming that you have been successful and include this at the END of your research assignment.
A useful tool in Microsoft is the Snipping Tool which you can find in the Start Menu.
