Summary

"The book identifies key concepts and debates in this area of law. Students are encouraged actively to engage with issues such as the tension between property and obligations approaches to the trust, and to adopt critical perspectives of their own." "Trusts and Equity focuses on modern trusts in commercial contexts, as well as tackling related issues such as breach of trust and the recovery of misapplied assets. Equitable principles, doctrines, and remedies are usefully covered throughout the book, and are illustrated with practical examples from trust law."--BOOK JACKET.
