“Authoritative and accurate, concise without being simplistic, fluently written and easy for students to follow and absorb. It combines modernity with the old-fashioned values of precise analysis and excellent coverage of case and statute law. The accompanying website has features which will facilitate students’ learning and can be integrated into teaching resources too.”

Hazel McLean, University of Exeter

“This book is well structured and gradually introduces students to the concept of the trust and how it works in society. It starts from a very basic explanation of Equity and the concept of the Trust and creates a foundation for the understanding of the topic. It slowly builds on top of that and demonstrates the various types of trusts and their functions.”

Sofia Cavandoli, Aberystwyth University
