- Summary:
-
Most of the current academic writing about the resulting trust is found in the established textbooks on equity and trusts and these tend to provide little more than catalogues of the situations in which the resulting trust arises. This book, on the other hand, explores the true nature of the resulting trust and the question whether the trusts brought into being to reverse unjust enrichment should not include resulting trusts. As the first modern book devoted exclusively to this little understood branch of the law of trusts, it is a comprehensive and fully up-to-date text which includes examination of all the recent doctrine; a mass of case law, including the highly significant Westdeutsche case, judgment of which was handed down just in time for discussion in this book; and the views of the courts in a number of jurisdictions.
Robert Chambers has written a much-needed, detailed examination of the resulting trust which will be invaluable to all barristers and academics working in the areas of equity and trusts, restitution and the law of property.
