The new edition of Equity and Trusts in Australia is fully updated by reference to reported and unreported case law throughout Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Canada, and by reference to the latest journal articles. More specifically, the book covers the Tanwar High Court decision regarding relief against forfeiture, the dissenting NSWCA judgement in Penatgold v Romanos as this was endorsed by the High Court and the Ramsden case dealing with disclaimer by beneficiaries. Furthermore, the new edition has separate chapters devoted to: - the nature and types of equitable interests - equitable priorities - duties of trustees - powers and rights of trustees. There is also the inclusion of a new chapter entitled "The Beneficiary" which expands on the nature of beneficiaries rights under a trust and of a beneficiaries interest in a trust.
The book provides a succinct, clear and accessible explanation of key theories and terminology in equitable and trust law and demonstrates how these are applied in practice with simple, topical examples.
