Law: equity and trusts, foundations Books
Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Cases, Materials and Text on Property Law
Book SynopsisThis casebook presents a deep comparative analysis of property law systems in Europe (ie the law of immovables, movables and claims), offering signposts and stepping stones for the reader wishing to explore this fascinating area. The subject matter is explained with careful attention given to its history, foundations, thought-patterns, underlying principles and basic concepts. The casebook focuses on uncovering differences and similarities between Europe's major legal systems: French, German, Dutch and English law are examined, while Austrian and Belgian law are also touched upon. The book combines excerpts from primary source materials (case law and legislation) and from doctrine and soft law. In doing so it presents a faithful picture of the systems concerned. Separate chapters deal with the various types of property rights, their creation, transfer and destruction, with security rights (such as mortgages, pledges, retention of title) as well as with harmonising and unifying efforts at the EU and global level. Through the functional approach taken by the Ius Commune Casebooks this volume clearly demonstrates that traditional comparative insights no longer hold. The law of property used to be regarded as a product of historical developments and political ideology, which were considered to be almost set in stone and assumed to render any substantial form of harmonisation or approximation very unlikely. Even experienced comparative lawyers considered the divide between common law and civil law to be so deep that no common ground - so it was thought - could be found. However economic integration, in particular integration of financial markets and freedom of establishment, has led to the integration of particular areas of property law such as mortgage law and enforceable security instruments (eg retention of title). This pressure towards integration has led comparative lawyers to refocus their interest from contract, tort and unjustified enrichment to property law and delve beneath its surface. This book reveals that today property law systems are closer to one another than previously assumed, that common ground can be found and that differences can be analysed in a new light to enable comparison and further the development of property law in Europe.Table of ContentsPreface Introductory chapter Chapter 1.

She carefully analyses the moral justification of pardons, discussing how to distinguish between justifiable, even morally obligatory, cases and unjustifiable abuses of clemency power.Trade ReviewMoore has made an important contribution to punishment theory in general and to an all too frequently neglected aspect of punishment in particular, namely, the role of the pardon in the criminal justice system.

Book SynopsisThis second edition of Sarah Worthington''s Equity maintains the clear ambitions of the first. It sets out the basic principles of equity, and illustrates them by reference to commercial and domestic examples of their operation. The book comprehensively and succinctly describes the role of equity in creating and developing rights and obligations, remedies and procedures that differ in important ways from those provided by the common law itself.Worthington delivers a complete reworking of the material traditionally described as equity. In doing this, she provides a thorough examination of the fundamental principles underpinning equity''s most significant incursions into the modern law of property, contract, tort, and unjust enrichment. In addition, she exposes the possibilities, and the need, for coherent substantive integration of common law and equity. Such integration she perceives as crucial to the continuing success of the modern common law legal system.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Key Ideas in Trusts Law
Book SynopsisThis book provides an in-depth and easy to understand account of a subject that students often find dauntingly difficult to master. The opening chapter sets out some definitions of what a trust is, and goes on to clearly explain the history of trusts law and how both trusts law and the roles played by trusts have changed over time. Different types of trust (trusts for persons, charitable and non-charitable purpose trusts, express trusts, constructive trusts, and resulting trusts) are explored in detail over the following two chapters. The fourth chapter sets out the law on when someone will commit a breach of trust and what remedies will be available when such a breach is committed; the obscure and intimidating terminology that affects this area of law is explained and made easy to use. A concluding chapter explores the harms caused by trusts law, particularly through its use to store wealth in tax havens abroad, and considers possibilities for reforming the law to mitigate those harms. With references to almost 150 books and articles, and almost 150 cases, this book will save students a huge amount of time in terms of developing a sophisticated knowledge of the past, present and potential futures of trusts law both in England & Wales, and across the world, as well as the academic and judicial debates that surround this area of law.Trade ReviewMcBride is a master craftsman, who has turned his eye to a difficult and sometimes underappreciated subject. His comments are perceptive, and drawn from his wide knowledge of English private law. His analysis is (customarily) sharp. It is a very impressive text. I have recommended it to all my incoming students as a text to read in advance of their trusts studies. -- Julius Grower * University of Oxford *Well-written and engaging, and gets to some of the key debates. Very useful in that it allows you to get an overview of surrounding topics and thus delve deeper. -- Derek Whayman * Newcastle University *A very useful and thoughtful book which provides a good foundation for the course, whilst being challenging and thought-provoking. -- Graham Virgo * University of Cambridge *This is a very good, short title, integrating recent developments in trust law and practice worldwide into the basic description of the subject. Such integration has long been desirable. I think the book does an excellent job; most trusts titles are so bulky, while this book achieves the necessary revamping and modernization within a modest frame. -- Adam Hofri-Winogradow * University of British Columbia *This is one of the best short introductory books on trusts to be written in recent years. -- Nick Piska * University of Kent *Table of Contents1. Foundations 2. Persons and Purposes 3. Intended and Imposed 4. Trustees and Third Parties 5. Pandora’s Box

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Defences in Equity
Book SynopsisThis book is the fourth in a series of essay collections on defences in private law. It addresses defences to liability arising in equity. The essays range from those adopting a mainly doctrinal perspective to others that explore the law from a more philosophical perspective. Some essays concentrate on specific defences, while others are concerned with the links between defences, or with how defences relate to the structure of the law of equity generally. One aim of the book is to shed light on equitable doctrines by analysing them through the lens of defences. The essays offer original contributions to this complex, important but neglected field of scholarly investigation. The contributors – judges, practitioners and academics – are all distinguished jurists. The essays are addressed to all of the major common law jurisdictions.Table of Contents1.
