Discription

Navigating Equity and Trusts provides students with straightforward explanations of equitable principles. It covers all topics undergraduate students are required to study in a comprehensible and comprehensive way, including: - The history of equity and the maxims - Unconscionable conduct - Fiduciary duties - Equitable estoppel - Creation of Express trusts - Trustees’ duties and beneficiaries’ rights - Charitable trusts - Resulting and constructive trusts - Equitable remedies and defences - Deceased estates Although equity is often regarded as one of the more "difficult" areas of our legal system to study, Navigating Equity and Trusts demonstrates that equitable principles are easy to understand. To assist students, selected cases are used to illustrate principles and, at the end of each chapter, there are both tutorial questions and problems to enable students to test their knowledge as well as mind maps to assist with the "navigation".
