Recognised as a key text by both students and practitioners, Equity and the Law of Trusts in Ireland provides comprehensive treatment and analysis of this area of the law. This updated and expanded new edition gives an insight into recent developments in relation to both trusts and equitable remedies. New legislation in this field, such as the Charities Act 2009 and statutory provisions providing for the variation of trusts are analysed. In addition, significant case law developments in areas such as resulting and constructive trusts and proprietary estoppel are examined and assessed. While the main focus of the work is on the law in Ireland, where relevant, useful comparisons are made with the law in other common law jurisdictions.

Excerpt from The Principles of Equity: Intended for the Use of Students-and of Practitioners This. Sixteenth Edition of Snell's Equity is the thirteenth edition of that work which has been published since 1875, when law and equity were for the first time fused effectively under one and the same juridical administration; and it was my chief duty as Editor, in 1875, to suggest, how the fusion would operate as regards the different subject-matters comprised in the Book; and it has been my endeavour, continuously in all the twelve successive editions which I have edited since 1875, to further show (by state ment and illustration), how the fusion was.
