Description
The law of trusts is undeniably difficult. Almost every topic is complicated by demanding intellectual problems, and academics and judges alike disagree about possible solutions. A book which claims to make trusts easy is, in the words of the author, 'a book for fools or the gullible.' Whatthis text aims to do is make the law of trusts possible, explaining from first principles what trusts is about and providing the student with an understanding not only of the law, but of the important academic controversies surrounding it. Lists of 'must read' cases, included at the end of eachchapter, encourage the student to seek out the meaning of trust law for him or herself by studying the judgments on which the body of rules has been built.This fifth edition has been fully updated to take account the latest developments in the law. Written in an easy, narrative style with helpful advice on how best to tackle the subject, The Law of Trusts makes sense of what can be a daunting field. It will be welcomed by anyone wishing to gain aclear understanding of this area of law, and will be of invaluable assistance for students writing term essays and preparing for exams.
