The Law of Trusts and Equitable Obligations offers students a stimulating, contemporary perspective on a subject that is often perceived to be remote and difficult. The law of trusts is examined from a modern conceptual perspective and students are introduced to areas where trusts enjoy practical significance. This text remains accessible for students without sacrificing detailed critical comment and engages with cutting edge issues, particularly the relationship between the law of property and the law of restitution. Written in a lively and stimulating style and supported by a strong analytical framework, this book presents the law of trusts in a relevant and exciting manner. The fourth edition of The Law of Trusts and Equitable Obligations provides comprehensive coverage of the syllabi for the majority of degree level courses on the law of equity and trusts. It includes coverage of the Charities Bill 2005, the Civil Partnersip Act 2004, developments in the law surrounding constructive trusts, proprietory estoppel, and new cases relating to the right to access trust documents and challenge the excercise of the trustee's discretions.A new Online Resource Centre containing twice-yearly updates to the text, accompanies this book.
