Equity and trusts - Alastair Hudson

Equity & Trusts has quickly established itself as a market leader due to its clarity, insight and accessibility. Hudson's scholarly account of the subject makes this text sufficiently authoritative for trust practitioners but also very accessible for the student reader. This textbook teaches equity and trusts law by setting-out the core principles at the beginning of each chapter and by using clear examples to illustrate them. Each chapter moves from a comprehensive analysis of the legal principles through to an analysis of the key academic debates in a way that lets the author's enthusiasm for the subject shine through.

This fifth edition is comprehensive and up to date, including references to more than sixty new cases. In-depth coverage of recent developments include:

Charities Act 2006; Stack v Dowden (House of Lords); Barlow Clowes v Eurotrust; Abou-Rahmah v Abacha; Re Horley FC; Re Farepak Food & Gift Ltd; Ultraframe UK Ltd v Fielding; Re Spectrum Plus; Baker v JE ClarkUK Ltd (Transport); Barraclough v Mell; Crossley v Crossley; Van Laetham v Brooker; Fourie v Le Roux; Templeton Insurance Ltd v Penningtons Solicitors LLP; Primlake Ltd v Matthews; Rockbrook Ltd v Khan; Yeoman's Row Management Ltd v Cobbe; Turner v Jacob and Abbey National v Stringer.

The chapters on charities and on quistclose trusts have been completely re-written, with extensive updating having been made to other parts of the book as well. The text is supported by a Companion Website, with casenotes on new developments and over fifty podcasts in which the author discusses key aspects of equity and trusts law.
