The Principles of Equity & Trusts

Bol

A contextual, critically engaged guide to equity and trusts, combining clear presentation of doctrine with analysis of cases and debates across eight thematic parts. All chapters have been scrupulously revised to reflect recent Supreme Court and appellate developments. The sixth edition of The Principles of Equity & Trusts offers a distinctive, contextual, and critically engaged treatment of Equity and trusts, combining clear statements of doctrine with insightful commentary that places leading decisions within their broader legal and practical settings, across coverage that ranges from Equity’s history and contemporary commercial relevance through express, purpose, resulting, and constructive trusts, informal property arrangements, beneficiaries’ rights, trustees’ powers and duties, trust variation, and remedies for breach of trust and fiduciary duty. In light of significant recent appellate developments, the new edition is substantially rewritten: the analysis of Equity’s core attributes now explores more fully how Equity modifies the Common Law, how discretion operates, and how unconscionability functions; the trust discussion adds a new section on Abuse of the Trust; key chapters update formality requirements for trusts of land and the disposition of equitable interests; fiduciary duties and liability are extensively reworked; and the treatment of personal remedies and third-party liability is rewritten, including renewed attention to knowing receipt, alongside the integration of new authorities such as Byers v Saudi National Bank, D’Aloia v Persons Unknown, and the Property (Digital Assets etc.) Act 2025.
