Rezensionen / Stimmen
"An excellent 'hands on' approach to what can be a difficult and 'dry' subject, ideal for students at all levels who need to demonstrate an understanding of the law and application to facts."
Alison Cronin, Lecturer, Bournemouth University.
"Equity has the reputation for being old and stuffy. I think therefore this book will help to enlighten the students! "
Amanda Taylor, University of Westminster.
"This is a lively, interesting and crucially different text which meets the challenge of understanding both the black letter law and the impact of trusts in practice".
Roger Thomas, Anglia Ruskin University.
