Features: This book primarily discusses the trust law of England and Wales, providing a detailed introduction to the current state of these laws, as well as highlighting potential future developments. The book also references the trust laws of other countries. Such research is important because the introduction of these countries' trust laws can better highlight the characteristics of British trust law and also point out the vast scope for the development of trust law. The new edition of this book introduces the dynamic role of equity and trust (e.g., the legal rights acquired by cohabiting partners through informal means within a household). It also emphasizes that equity relies on the shock to the conscience of the defendant before intervening, and that equity insists on treating a trustee who has acted improperly as a good person (depriving them of the right to exploit their mistakes) to fully protect the interests of the beneficiaries.
