Reviews

Graham Virgo has written another excellent book on equity. He is one of my fiercest critics, and one I have come to regard with great respect. He is an undoubted expert on the principles of equity, but more importantly he understands the particular cast of mind which an equity judge brings to a legal problem. The Rt Hon Lord Millett The text provides a lucid distillation of the legal principles. The balance between statement of current law and doctrine on the one hand, and points of controversy and debate on the other, is extremely well-judged. Norma Dawson, Professor of Law, Queen's University Belfast The quality of the writing is consistently high. Virgo conveys a sense of the dynamic nature of the equity jurisdiction and of its contemporary importance. I would not hesitate in recommending this text it to my students.
