This 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.
