Synopsis

A Selection of Leading Cases in Equity, Vol. 1 of 2: With Notes; Part Second gathers key decisions in English equity law and explains their practical impact. This volume highlights how courts approach settlements, the rights of children to provision from a spouse’s fortune, and the variety of remedies available in equity, from injunctions to trusts and settlements.


Readers will find detailed discussion of major themes, including the rights of the wife and children in marital settlements, the nature of charitable and voluntary deeds, and the evolving rules around waste, uses, and contingent remainders. The material is presented with historical context and notes to illuminate how these principles developed in the courts.



  • Insight into the interplay between original decrees and subsequent settlements affecting family rights

  • Explanation of when and how equity can intervene to protect contingent interests

  • Discussion of remedies like injunctions, as well as the boundaries of the trustee’s role in preservation of property

  • Context for the evolution of master's duties, life interests, and the survivorship rules in equity


Ideal for readers seeking a solid foundation in equity practice and historical case law, with notes that help connect old rulings to modern principles.
