✦ Synopsis

This new edition considers all of the academic commentary governing the area of equity and trusts - in particular the emerging law of restitution and the raft of new case law over the last decade. It analyses difficult questions in a manner which establishes the book both as a leading scholarly text and an invaluable resource for a student audience. In particular there are essays on property and human rights law, the problems of using trusts in international, commercial transactions, the ordering of trusts within property law and obligations, and the place of equity in social theory.
