  With its unique contextual emphasis and authoritative commentary, Trusts Law: Text and Materials is a book that no serious undergraduate on trust law courses can afford to be without. The book is divided into four main parts: trusts and the preservation of family wealth; trusts and family breakdown; trusts and commerce; and trusts and non-profit activity. Within each of these parts, leading cases, statutes, and historical and research materials are placed alongside the narrative of the author's text to give emphasis both to general theories of trust concepts and to the practical operation of trusts. Attention is also given to important themes such as the developing relationship between trusts law and other areas of private law such as the Law of Restitution. This new edition takes account of all relevant judicial and legislative developments since the third edition, and expands discussion of key themes in current developments of the law.

  The book is widely acclaimed in its presentation of the law of trusts within the social and legal contexts in which trusts commonly appear and the functions which they perform within these contexts. This edition incorporates all relevant judicial and legislative developments since the second edition. In the light of these developments, the commerce section has been extended to include a chapter on equitable remedies. The work integrates leading cases, statutes and historical and research materials with the authors' narrative text. Its unique contextual emphasis and authoritative commentary has succeeded in creating a 'niche' in the large undergraduate market where texts are predominantly black-letter in style. It is used as a main text by institutions adopting a contextual approach and as supplementary reading on traditional courses.
