Equity and Trusts

"Alastair Hudson's Equity and Trusts is an ideal textbook for undergraduate courses on the law of trusts and equitable remedies. It provides a clear, current and comprehensive account of the subject through which the author's enthusiasm and expertise shine through, helping to bring to life an area of the law which students often find challenging. This Eighth Edition contains an analysis of the Supreme Court decisions in Pitt v Holt, Futter v Futter, Jones v Kernott and Re Lehman Brothers (Europe) v CRC; and the decisions in FHR European Ventures v Mankarious, Armstrong v Winnington and Independent Trustee Services v GK Noble and Morris. It also includes coverage of all of the cases which have stemmed from the financial crisis; a new treatment of the Charities Act 2011 and of the Perpetuities and Accumulations Act 2009; as well as a new treatment of the law on bribery and secret profits; a full treatment of the law on super-injunctions; and analysis of many other new cases. Equity and Trusts remains the most comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of the law of Equity and Trusts, while still a lively and thoughtful account of the issues raised by it. This book has been cited as being authoritative in the courts of numerous countries"--
