It covers the definition, classification and creation of trusts, trustees, and beneficiaries.The work has been completely updated to take account of recent case law and legislation, and includes items such as: Twinsecrta v Yardley, which analyses Quistclose trusts and also defines what is meant by dishonesty in the context of liability for dishonest assistance in a breach of trust; T. Choithram International SA v. Pagarani, which discusses the requirements for the valid creation of a trust where the settlor fails to vest the trust assets in the intended trustees; and Tinsley v. Milligan on illegality.It also includes a discussion of the English rules of jurisdiction and service of proceedings outside England in trust disputes, and a treatment of the new CPR rule 48.4(2) and (3) which makes different provision for trustees' costs of litigation and of decisions on costs in trusts disputes.* Includes both in-depth analysis and the practical implications of trust law* Provides clear guidance on controversial and undecided questions* Covers all aspects of trusts law - from explanation, interpretation, and creation of trusts, to the role and duties of trustees, to beneficiaries and their interests and administration* Analyses major decisions and applies them to the principles of the law and the practice and procedure they affect
