The Law of Trusts

Abstract

Titles in the Core Text series take the reader straight to the heart of the subject, providing focused, concise, and reliable guides for students at all levels. The Law of Trusts provides perceptive analysis and original and thought-provoking commentary to give students a grounding in what is considered to be a difficult subject. The book introduces the controversies surrounding the topic in a thought-provoking way, engaging the reader and giving an all-round picture of the key issues relating to the subject. New to this edition, Chapters 3, 5, 11, and 13 (Chapter 12 in the previous edition) have all been significantly revised to reflect recent developments in the law and the academic commentary on, respectively, beneficiaries’ standing to sue and rights to information, resulting trusts, breach of trust, and the law governing fiduciaries. Chapter 12 ‘Restitution, unjust enrichment, and the law of trusts’ is new; it brings together material previously found in other chapters, organising it in a more coherent way for the better appreciation of the student reader, whilst also containing a wholly new discussion of the leading cases and academic commentary in this area of law.
