Blurb

This fifth edition of Trusts Law gives a clear and stimulating explanation of the law, and has been updated to reflect recent developments in the area. Written by an academic and a practitioner, the book moves beyond a purely descriptive account of the cases and statutes, offering an examination of the principles and policies they reflect and embody. 

Trusts Law:

• explains exactly and concisely what the law is about and why the rules are as they are, essential for a subject often seen as difficult and alien
• provides a full account of the principles of trusts law, with in-depth analysis of the key cases
• connects closely to issues discussed in the academic literature and on which exams typically focus
• is written by authors with authority and insight. 

The text is ideal for law undergraduates and GDL/CPE students with no background in the subject, while also addressing themes and arguments relevant to postgraduate students and researchers. 

Useful features include chapter summaries, self-test exercises and suggestions for further reading.
