About this title

Review:

"This book meets an undoubted demand for a middle range textbook on Equity & Trusts"

"The layout is friendly and easy to follow with extracts clearly defined in another font. To encourage students to research more deeply into the subject matter, chapters contain a comprehensive and helpful list of further reading"

"...this book achieves what it sets out to do. It can be used by a whole range of students as a comprehensive textbook and as a stepping stone to further research and understanding. I recommend it to my own students and they seem to make good use of it."
