Overview

In a subject that is heavily case law based, the content of Todd & Watt's Cases and Materials on Equity and Trusts provides an essential reference source for students. The eighth edition contains an impressive range of relevant and interesting case law, statutory material, academic writing, and official proposals for law reform. Where appropriate, legal materials are accompanied by non-legal literary texts with a view to making legal points more interesting and memorable. Gary Watt continues to combine rigorous scholarship with a student-focused approach in his choice of materials and his associated commentary. The book uses key features as tools to assist students' learning and revision, including questions, suggestions for further reading, and notes.

Reviews

`For anyone looking for an equity and trusts cases and materials text, Todd & Watt's Cases & Materials on Equity and Trusts is a very good option. Its cases and materials are well-selected (and clearly separated from the commentary) meaning valuable time will be saved searching for materials. The commentary is also well-written and provides some useful analysis of difficult legal principles.' The Student Law Journal `Relevant extracts from case-law, statutes and journals (which are usefully highlighted with a grey background to make them stand out from the rest of the text) are then interspersed with helpful commentary.' The Student Law Journal `Each case report includes an excellent brief overview of the facts together with the decision before tackling the relevant extracts from the judgment: this really allows the reader to put the judgments in context before reading them.'
