Overview

This manual on chancery practice which is one of a series of materials for the Bar Vocational Course, placing considerable emphasis on the learning of legal skills. The text is divided into inheritance planning, landlord, tenant and company law. Within each of these areas, the text is wide ranging, covering legal principles, providing sample drafts and exercises together with practical guidance on the conduct of cases. The precise contents of each section differs, but all have the common objective of providing a base for the young barrister going into practice in the chancery area. Although chancery work is identified as a distinct area of legal practice, there is inevitably a very wide range in the work that may be done by individual chancery practitioners. This manual seeks to provide a broad foundation for the main areas of chancery work on which the barrister can build in early practice. The inheritance planning section presumes a general knowledge of basic trust law, and centres on those areas in which the barrister may be asked to advise a client. In taking this practical approach the manual looks at tax aspects of provision made by trusts and wills, which will often be a vital consideration. The section also considers the drafting of deeds. The landlord and tenant section provides an overview of the law and concentrates on those areas in which a young barrister is particularly likely to be involved, including outlines for particular types of application and checklists. The company law section covers the main areas of the subject with particular emphasis on those aspects which are most frequently met in the early years of practice.
