This introductory text adopts a pragmatic approach focusing on basic principles of equity and trusts in the UK and other jurisdictions where relevant. The Law of Trusts provides an effective introduction prior to detailed study of the subject as well as being a valuable companion to the larger textbooks. This edition has been updated to include the Trustee Act 2000, Trustee Delegation Act 1999, Contracts (Right of Third Parties) Act 1999, Land Registration Act 2002 and Human Rights Act 1998; plus a wealth of new case law including Foskett v McKeown, Twinsectra v Yardley, Walker v Stones and Re Angora Trust.

This edition of this textbook on the law of trusts is aimed primarily at undergraduates, but is also suitable for postgraduate/professional students. It introduces material on equitable remedies to reflect changes in the Law Society foundation subject "Equity and Trusts". Changes introduced by the Pensions Act 1995 and the Charities Acts 1992 and 1993 are fully considered, as are significant developments in the commercial use of trusts, the certainty of subject matter, the beneficiary principle, investment duties, exemption clauses, and constructive trusts of family homes.
