In a subject that is heavily reliant on the specifics of case law, Cases & Materials on Equity & Trusts provides an essential source of reference for your studies in equity and trusts. The tenth edition contains a diverse range of relevant and interesting case law, statutory material, academic writing, and official proposals for law reform. Where appropriate, legal material is accompanied by non-legal sources to highlight important issues and make them more memorable.
