Trusts and Equity (Foundation Studies in Law Series)
£26.99
Poor - This book is a mess. It tries to summarise the difficulties in trust law but ends up confusing its readers. It refers to cases over and over again, for example 1 case was mentioned in the introduction and then repeatedly for the next ten pages!! It has no sense of logic or a step-by-step guide, rather just a big mess with clearly NOT enough content. Buy this book if you want a THIRD!! It needs loads more content, e.g. Secret Trusts is only 4 pages long and about 40% of the content needed is just briefly mentioned in a sentence, or completely left out!! Your better off with NUTSHELLS!!
Straightforward and easy to read - This is one of best textbooks on trusts and equity that I have found. Designed specifically for postgradute and first time law students, it is accessible and uncomplicated. The case law it includes is relevant and very up to date. Perhaps a little too uncritical with regards to cases, and any serious student will need to supplement it with casebooks and further reading, but it is an excellent book for anybody struggling to get to grips with trusts. It gives a good, basic background on any equity topic. If only all law textbooks were as readable as this!
It truly brings Trust law to life! - It is an excellent textbook that de-mystifies and untangles the often confusing intricacies of Trust law. This is a must for the law student who finds this area of law confusing and frightening -I found it explains concepts clearly and concisely - see especially the chapters on Express and Resulting Trusts. It explains the Vandervell cases particularly well...
