Description
Hanbury & Martin : Modern Equity is a leading title on equity and trusts law, providing an up-to-date and modern account of this challenging area of the law. Now in its nineteenth edition, it continues to be unparalleled in breadth of scope and wealth of detail. The work provides a critical commentary with full reference to materials from legal journals. Significant cases are discussed in order to provide readers with the facts they need and a clear explanation of difficult points. Hanbury & Martin covers more than any other equity textbook, featuring other aspects of equity, in particular equitable remedies, and doctrines such as estoppel and undue inuence, not  usually covered.
New for the nineteenth edition
•    Examines all the latest case law, including Jones v Kernott on the family home; Sinclair
      Investments (UK) ltd v Versailes Trade Finance Ltd on personal and proprietary remedies for
      breach of duciary duty; and Pitt v Holt on the jurisdiction to set aside a disposition by trustees
      or by a settlor on the ground of mistake.
•     Discuses changes brought about all recent legislation, including the Perpetuities and
      Accumulations Act 2009 and the Equality Act 2010, which abolishes the presumption of advancement.
      It also deals with the consolidating Charities Act 2011.
