Overview

This new edition contains extracts from a wide range of relevant and interesting case law, statutory material, academic writing and official proposals for law reform. In a subject that is heavily case-based, the content of Todd & Watt's Cases and Materials on Equity and Trusts provides a complete source of reference for students. Logically set out, the book is structured to correspond to a typical undergraduate course in equity and trusts, with materials linked by engaging commentary and stimulating questions with answers, as well as suggestions for further study. The sixth edition has been revised to include a new chapter dedicated to equitable doctrines and remedies. It has also been updated to include the Charities Act 2006, the Law Commission report on Trustee Exemption Clauses (2006) and consultation paper on Cohabitation (2006), and numerous new cases, including Re Farepak Foods (2006), Re Horley Town Football Club (2006), Barlow Clowes International Ltd. (In Liquidation) v. Eurotrust International Limited (2005), and Charter plc v City Index Ltd (2007). This new edition is especially notable for the inclusion of extracts from recent scholarly articles by several of the world's leading academic thinkers on the law of trusts. Online Resource Centre Fully supported by an Online Resource Centre orientated towards consolidating students' understanding and providing a forum for self-assesment. Resources include regular updates to changes and developments in relevant cases, suggested answers to questions in the book, and links to key websites.
