The Law of Trusts

After examining the essential nature of trusts, this book explores the different functions of the various types of trust, taking care to consider each from the standpoint of the parties involved - the settlor, the trustee, the beneficiary and the court. Fundamental principles are highlighted throughout, alongside outlines of major recent developments in trusts law both in the UK and other common law jurisdictions. Professor Hayton has taught property law for over 20 years and writes extensively on equity and trusts. He is the editor of "Hayton and Marshall's Cases and Commentary on the Law of Trusts" and "Underhill and Hayton on the Law of Trusts".
