Trusts and Equity 5e - Cover Blurb 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.

Extensive extracts from these two pieces of legislation are included, as well as an Appendix of the key provisions of the Trustee Act 2000 together with commentary on it from the authors.

Rates of taxation are included based on the Finance Bill 2001.

The book also now includes major new cases on: tracing (Foskett v McKeown); constructive trusts (Paragon v Thakerer); estoppel (Yaxley v Gotts); and knowing receipt (BCCI v Akindele).Richard Edwards, LLB, LLM is a Principal Lecturer in Law, and Nigel Stockwell, BA, LLB, Barrister, is a Senior Lecturer in Law , both at Anglia Polytechnic University.
