The purpose of this book is to provide easy access to a collection of essential source materials in order to simplify the principles of trust law and stimulate critical thought. The bulk of the material is selected from the conventional legal sources such as statutes and judicial decisions but some of the materials are drawn from articles and official reports. Each chapter commences with an exposition of the fundamental principles of trusts law in a readable and intelligible form,followed by extracts from judgments of leading cases. References to other relevant cases, statutes, articles and official reports are incorporated where appropriate.
