Description

“Understanding Equity & Trusts is a sister text to Dr. Hudson’s heavyweight textbook Equity & Trusts and aims to give those unfamiliar with the subject an accessible, readable and comprehensive overview of the main themes in this dynamic area of the law. Whether used at the beginning of studying this field or in the period before examinations, this book gives the reader an invaluable grounding in all of the key principles of equity and the law of trusts.” “The book advances the thesis that equity has a significant role to play in any legal system beyond the technical intricacies of trusts law. Equity is a code of thought with a long intellectual history which has an important part to play in relation to complex commercial transactions, occupational pension schemes and rights in the family home. All of these challenges facing the ancient code of equity are considered in the context of our global, 21st century society.
