Features: This book primarily discusses the trust law of England and Wales, providing a detailed introduction to the current state of these laws and also pointing out 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 potential for the development of trust law. The new edition of this book introduces the dynamic role of equity and trusts (such as, cohabitors who have legally acquired rights in a family through informal means). 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 use their mistake) to fully protect the interests of beneficiaries.
