equity and trusts

The text provides an overview of equitable principles and links this with the maxims of equity and distinction between equitable and legal interests. This is followed by consideration of the assignment of equitable interests and an analysis of the major equitable remedies, including injunction, specific performance, rescission, rectification, order for an account, and delivery up and cancellation of documents. Although of limited relevance in modern times, the doctrines of equity which comprise election, satisfaction, performance, and, to a limited extent, conversion are also examined. The general treatment of equity is followed by a specialist analysis of the concept of trust, which is regarded as the largest manifestation of equity.
