3. Essays on trusts law
|
Essays
|
|
|
Restitution of unjust enrichment This essay considers the nature of unjust enrichment and compares it with equity: it is found to be somewhat wanting. It was originally included in earlier editions of Equity & Trusts but was removed due to lack of space. |
|
|
Westdeutsche Landesbank v Islington - a note This essay considers this important decision and provides an introduction to this complex litigation for students. It appeared in my 1999 book Principles of Equity and Trust (Cavendish) and was well-received as a clear grounding for students meeting this seminal case for the first time. |
|
|
The nature of property This essay considers the nature of property and presents a novel consideration of the differentiation between the various types of property whereas property law tends to treat all forms of property as being the same. |
|
|
The nature of express trusts This essay was previously the full version of Chapter 7 of Equity & Trusts, which was cut back for the latest edition. It draws a range of themes out of the discussion of express trusts across Chapters 3 through 6 of that book, and which serves to give an overview of the key ideas. |
|
|
Trusts and the birth of company law The modern company was based on trusts law and partnership law. This essay explores that birth and, in so doing, gives another example of trusts facilitating commercial activity. |
|
|
Co-operatives While property lawyers usually think of "things" being owned, co-operatives provide an entirely different model of property whereby the members of co-operatives (bodies corporate) do not own any of the entity's assets individually but rather exercise democratic control over that property when acting in concert. This essay is now a little out of date due to some statutory updates. |
|
|
The ordering of trusts There are many forms of trust not normally considered by the commentators but which constitute the present and the future of trusts law: this essay shows how trusts law could and should be organised to incorporate these trusts. |
