Moffat's Trusts Law

Combines authoritative commentary and unique contextual analysis to explain the general principles of trusts and their practical operation.

Moffat's Trusts Law combines authoritative commentary with a unique contextual analysis. Leading cases, statutes, and historical and research materials are placed alongside the narrative of the text to give emphasis both to general theories of trust concepts and to the practical operation of trusts.Always the serious student's choice for a Trusts Law textbook, the new seventh edition of Moffat's Trusts Law once again provides a clear examination of the rules of Trusts, retaining its hallmark combination of a contextualised approach and a commercial focus. The impact of statutory developments and a wealth of new cases – including the Supreme Court and Privy Council decisions in Patel v. Mirza [2016] UKSC 42, PJS v. News Group Newspapers Ltd [2016] UKSC, Burnden Holdings v. Fielding [2018] UKSC 14, and Federal Republic of Brazil v. Durant [2015] UKPC 35 – are explored. A streamlining of the chapters on charitable Trusts, better to align the book with the typical Trusts Law course, helps students understand the new directions being taken in the areas of Trust Law and equitable remedies.
