Equity and Trusts remains the most comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of the law of Equity and Trusts, while still a lively and thoughtful account of the issues raised by it. This book has been cited as being authoritative in the courts of numerous countries. The seventh edition is supported by a companion website which includes:• over 50 short podcast lectures by the author discussing and clarifying key topics from within the book, which cover an entire course; • a set of brief video documentaries filmed on location which provide context and bring to life selected key topics; • a brief introductory video presentation from the author introducing the viewer to the subject of Equity and Trusts and to the book in particular.
