Retaining its succinct, easy to read style, Australian Principles of Equity and Trusts, has been fully revised and updated to include developments in areas, such as the relationship between common law and equity, undue influence, tracing, interim injunctions and resulting trusts. Covering all of the general principles associated with equity and trusts jurisprudence, this textbook is ideal for undergraduate study of the subject.

Providing a thorough examination of the equitable principles associated with transactional fairness the new edition includes:-

• undue influence, mistake, estoppel, penalties and forfeiture, and misrepresentation
