De nouvelles décisions, législations et propositions de réforme ont été enregistrées, y compris le projet de loi de 1998 sur la délégation des fiduciaires et les propositions de la Commission du droit sur les règles de perpétuité et les pouvoirs et devoirs des syndics.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Trusts and Equity, now in its ninth edition, provides a trusted account of the main principles of this area of law.  The book demystifies this complex subject, without oversimplifying the law, by means of clear explanations and contemporary applications.  It also considers recent proposals for reform so that the reader can gain an understanding of the development of the law.

 

This new edition has been fully updated and thoroughly revised to include:

• A detailed account of the Charities Act 2006, including the Charity Commission guidance on its interpretation on matters such as public benefit
• Chapter 12 dealing with the ownership of shared homes has been restructured and rewritten, particularly in the light of the House of Lords decision in Stack v Dowden and the Privy Council case of Abbott v Abbott
• A more extensive explanation of equitable remedies, particularly injunctions, to reflect their contemporary importance
• Chapters 13, 14 and 15 on the role, powers and duties of trustees have been reorganised and the structure improved to enable readers to more easily assimilate this important area of law
• Several new additions of recent cases have been included and discussed

 

Key features:

• Aims and objectives at the start of each chapter focus learning.
• Clearly distinguished case summaries encourage students to quickly recognise the key cases and differentiate them from surrounding commentary.
• Chapter summaries highlight the main points covered in each chapter, cementing understanding.
• Further reading lists at the end of each chapter direct students to subject-specific resources to enrich understanding.
• Easy to read, two-colour text design with tabbed glossary and pedagogical features for quick reference.
• Marginal cross-references help students understand how the material fits together.

Quatrième de couverture

Trusts and Equity

provides a straightforward and readable exposition of the key principles of the law of trusts and equity, a subject often approached by students with trepidation. The authors' aim continues to be to demystify this complex subject, without oversimplifying, and to present it to students in as understandable a manner as possible.

The sixth edition has been revised to include a broader and deeper analysis of the Trustee Delegation Act 1999 and the Trustee Act 2000. Extensive extracts from these two pieces of legislation are included, as well as an Appendix of the key provisions of the Trustee Act 2000. This new edition includes detailed consideration of law reform proposals including forthcoming Law Commission Consultation Papers on property rights of homesharers and trustees' exemption clauses, and report from the Performance and Innovation Unit on the legal definition of a charity. The book also includes major new cases on: the transfer of title in gifts (Pennington v Waine), the fiduciary position of company directors and officers (Harrison v Harrison and In Plus v Pyke), and use of freezing (mareva) injunctions in an international context (Walsh v Deloitte and Indosuez v National Reserve Bank).
