In the Republic of Ireland, there have been many developments in the law affecting trusts, such as the decision of the Supreme Court in Lynch v Burke on resulting trusts and in England the decision of the House of Lords in Stack v Dowden on â??common intention,â?? constructive trusts. These and similar developments are comprehensively considered and explained in this second edition. The book is fully updated to include all relevant case law and legislation.

The third edition of this well-established legal text provides a comprehensive treatment and analysis of the area of equity and trusts. Set out in a user-friendly fashion that is easy to navigate, the book traces the development through history of the law of equity, the law of trusts, and equitable remedies. This updated and expanded new edition provides an insight into recent developments in relation to both trusts and equitable remedies. New important case law in the area such as Stanley v Kieran [2012] IESC 19, Greene v Coady [2014] IEHC 38 and Ulster Bank v Roche [2012] 1 IR 765 are fully explored. There are essential updates in the areas of wills and probate, including a look at constructive trusts and Cawley & Anor v Lillis [2011] IECH 515, as well as updates in relation to proprietary estoppel claims and the three recent High Court decisions in this area. Of particular interest to both academics and practitioners is the section on injunctions due to the many areas of law involved, including asylum, commercial and industrial relations. While the audience for this title will be largely academic, in particular law students, there is also a wealth of information which practitioners will find beneficial.

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.

Equity is a multi-faceted subject, an authentic crossroads of problems. The perspective of this study is, as a result, a mix of focuses, which includes: the philosophy of law, general legal theory, justice theory, the history of law, comparative law, legal dogma, etc. In this book, as in various earlier studies of the author, she uses the "three-dimensional" method, which facilitates a stratified focus in agreement with three levels: facts, norms, and values. The subject of equity has never been analysed as completely as in this work. It includes a dynamic study of the different types of equity throughout history and in the different legal systems; the concept, content, limits, functions and types of equity; the relationship between equity and related ideas, and equity in all the branches of the legal order.

New essays by leading figures from the judiciary, practicing lawyers and academics illuminating the worlds of trusts and wealth management.

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.
