This new edition contains extracts from a wide range of relevant and interesting case law, statutory material, academic writing and official proposals for law reform. In a subject that is heavily case-based, the content of Todd & Watt's Cases and Materials on Equity and Trusts provides a complete source of reference for students. Logically set out, the book is structured to correspond to a typical undergraduate course in equity and trusts, with materials linked by engaging commentary and stimulating questions with answers, as well as suggestions for further study.

The sixth edition has been revised to include a new chapter dedicated to equitable doctrines and remedies. It has also been updated to include the anticipated Charities Act 2006, the Law Commission report on Trustee Exemption Clauses (2006) and consultation paper on Cohabitation (2006), together with the latest developments in case law, including Barlow Clowes International Ltd. (In Liquidation) v. Eurotrust International Limited (2005).
