This original and thought-provoking book will be invaluable to trust practitioners, whether aspiring or experienced. It is imparted in such a refreshingly light style that the reader is scarcely conscious of the profound learning which the author, a practising barrister, brings to his subject.... An impressive, thought-provoking and learned work which is lucidly written and elegantly produced. Any trust practitioner of whatever vintage will profit from reading it.The reviewer highly recommends the book as a refreshing and practical approach to a difficult subjectThis is a marvellous book. . . Deserves the warmest welcome and the author the deepest gratitude of the profession.It can be confidently recommended.With a work such as this, the question is not whether a TEP should have a copy. If he does not already possess in his library one of the earlier edititions then the matter is simple. He should buy this one. Law Society's Gazette - of previous edition.
