Product Description

Trusts and Equity, 3e provides a detailed and conceptual analysis of an area of law that students sometimes find difficult. Watt concentrates on those areas of the subject that are most relevant in the contemporary arena, such as the commercial context. The author utilises his expertise in teaching, writing and researching to enliven the text with helpful analogies and memorable references to extra-legal sources such as history, literature and film. In this way he also stimulates students to engage critically with the theory. An accompanying Online Resource Centre, drawing together all 3 books written by Gary Watt, includes a sound bite of Gary explaining how the books should be used in teaching and how the web resources complement each book. Students will find the essay questions and problem scenarios together with the guide answers especially useful for reinforcing their learning and supporting their revision. Web links and regular updates ensure that readers have access to the latest developments in the subject.

Review
Review of first edition: What sets this book apart from many of its competitors is the clarity of the exposition of the law for the student in particular. Indeed, this is a book which engages interest and is highly readable...a superb student text on the law of equity and trusts. Graham Virgo (Cambridge Law Journal )

Customer Reviews

Very helpful indeed
I used this textbook in the first year of my Law degree at University. It provided a detailed outline of the Law of Equity and Trusts, as well as being a good study aid in revision time.
In addition, the textbook sometimes crosses into areas of Land Law and Property Law, and thus can be useful in these areas also.

Often, textbooks may be off-putting if they use complex Legal language or confusing long paragraphs. This textbook does not do this. It explains the Law in the way a student can understand, without confusion or complication.

It is, in my view, a good buy, a good research tool and almost certainly an excellent read.
