Overview

This book focuses on the key themes of an undergraduate course in equity and trusts, and has been thoroughly updated and revised to enhance accessibility. Complex issues are explained clearly but without over-simplifciation, and students are encouraged to engage critically with the material through real-life issues, key scholarship, and consideration of current theoretical perspectives. New material on remedies and the nature and classification of trusts has been included to reflect the increasing prominence of these areas on undergraduate degree courses. Chapters on charity, co-ownership, and trusteeship have also been significantly reworked to incorporate their extensive development or reorientation on account of legislative change, proposals for reform, and broader policy movements. Online Resource Centre The Online Resource Centre provides updates, web links, essay questions and answer guidance, and summaries of selected further reading.
