Publisher's Synopsis
This volume is designed to complement up-to-date degree courses in equity and the law of trusts. Attention is given to traditional deed-created trusts and also to modern trusts in commercial contexts, which are of increasing importance. The emphasis is on the intellectual and conceptual challenges arising from equity and trusts in their practical settings. Accordingly, the book is divided into broad headings covering the setting up of trusts, the variation of trusts; filling the office of trustee, fulfilling the role of trustee, breach of trust, resulting trusts, constructive trusts, tracing and injunctions. Orthodox chapter headings are arranged within this framework. Whilst the book is not intended to be a comprehensive text, it seeks to provide the reader with accurate summaries of the major cases and to stimulate reflective study through occasional textual notes and questions. Summaries of the principal statutes are also included where necessary.
