Details

Equity and Trusts in Hong Kong: Doctrines, Remedies and Institutions is a detailed text on the law in Hong Kong.

The text is unique as it not only details the development of equity and trusts in Hong Kong in the light of developments in other jurisdictions, but also considers the uses of equity and trust in Hong Kong and how they have developed and may be developed in the commercial, corporate and banking sectors. The text also considers the interaction between the domestic use of trusts in Hong Kong and the practice of offshoring.
