Hilary Biehler: Biehler Equity and the Law of Trusts in Ireland [2020] paperback

Now in its seventh edition, Equity and the Law of Trusts in Ireland provides a comprehensive treatment and analysis of this area of the law. This updated and expanded new edition examines recent developments in relation to both trusts and equitable remedies. While it focuses on reviewing and analysing the law in this jurisdiction, extensive reference is also made to the relevant principles as they have developed in England and Wales, where appropriate, in other common law countries such as Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Recognised as a key text by both students and practitioners, it also provides useful insights into likely future developments in this area of the law.
