Description
“I would unhesitatingly recommend this work to all those involved in the mainstream of chancery practice.” – Solicitors’ Journal
This bestselling title provides definitive guidance on equity, analysing the five ancient equitable doctrines of conversion, reconversion, election, performance and satisfaction.
Snell shows how the complex rules of equity apply in practice and interprets the principles and their application in different modern situations. It also:
- Examines how the principles can be applied in practice in trusts, probate and mortgages to solve clients’ problems
- Explores the growing application of trusts and fiduciary obligations in commercial contexts
- Considers a wide range of equitable remedies
- Deals with the implications of all recent legislative and case law developments including the Trustee Act 2000.
The supplement brings the work up-to-date with the latest legislative and case law developments.
