Description
This book is a collection of essays that discuss the current state of equity, trusts, and property law. The book is divided into two main sections, the first of which discusses real property law and the second of which discusses equity and trusts law. The book discusses a variety of topics surrounding the law of real property, such as unconscionability, the protection of third party interests, property, marriage, and ownership. The book also discusses the impact of equality law on landlord and tenant regulations. The second section of the book discusses the regulation of trusts and trustees and the impact of new legislation on charities such as hospitals and schools.
This work counters the common perception that equity and trusts is a static area of law. The essays, written by leading academics and well established practitioners of the field, demonstrate both that the area is vibrant with new legislation and case law and shows the value of reconsidering familiar topics in the light of new developments. The scope of the book is wide ranging, covering equity, trusts and property and is divided into two main sections: the law of real property, and the law of equity and trusts. In Part One, a variety of topics surrounding the law of real property are discussed: from unconscionability, and the protection of third party interests, to property, marriage and ownership, and the impact of equality law on landlord and tenant regulations. Part Two focuses on the regulation of trusts and trustees and the impact of new legislation on charities such as hospitals and schools.
