Recent developments, such as the Charities Act, are explored, the examination of the law of trusts and taxation is restructured and comparative examples help students understand the directions taken in the law of equity. Trusts Law brings a modern perspective to a subject often perceived as traditional,with suggestions for further reading guiding the student to contemporary debates"--Provided by publisher.
