This book provides a systematic, structured guide to a study of the essential features of equity and trusts. Equitable doctrines are outlined and explained; the key elements of trust law, with particular reference to the varieties of trust, the nature of trusteeship and the consequences of breach of trust, are analysed. This second edition updates the law of trusts by incorporating recent legislation and judicial decisions. A new chapter reviews the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996 which makes important changes to the area of administration of trusts.
