Principles of Equity and the Law of Trusts (Principles of Law) Book

The trust is explained as an equitable response to unconscionable behaviour by the trustee, as well as a traditional means of holding property in family situations. The developing law of restitution is also contrasted with the well established principles of equity and trusts. Of particular importance is the decision in Westdeutsche Landesbank v Islington which receives detailed scrutiny and introduces the rapidly developing area of trusts implied by law. Each chapter contains discussion of all the main cases with worked examples, progressing towards a summary of the academic commentary on each issue. This book is a lively account of the law in this area. It seeks to place the principles in context and to carry the reader into the exciting and complex debates which are set out in the cases and contested amongst commentators.Read More
