The law of equity and trusts is fascinating just as it is complex. A necessary subject in the study of law, it has to be mastered by students just as it is often applied by practitioners. This book comprehensively covers this very wide subject through 27 instructive chapters. Authored by writers drawn from academia and legal practice, the book seeks to provide a clear exposition of the law of equity and trusts as it applies in Malaysia. The chapters have been carefully structured to cover the law of equity followed by the law of trusts. Tracking closely the course outline adopted in most Malaysian universities, this book will be the main go-to text for all students. While a large part of equity and trusts is drawn from English common law, this book has given serious focus on Malaysian cases which have applied the principles or developed them for local application. Relevant statutory provisions are analysed and discussed to give this book a distinctly Malaysian flavour. The legal principles are clearly explained and analysed, supported by rich citation of authorities. Foreign authorities are appropriately cited to provide the foundational principles or where there is a lack of local sources. In addition to the core topics of equity and trusts, this book also contains coverage of topics like maxims of equity, injunctions, specific performance, remedies, equity in Islamic jurisprudence, equity in international law, trusts for commercial purposes, Islamic perspective of trust as well as variation and extinction of trusts.
