Considers all new legislative and case developments
Covers the three main substantive fields of equity jurisdiction: trusts, the administration of assets and securities, particularly mortgages.

Clear narrative with logical progression of principles and definitions to application in practice and remedies.

What’s new to this supplement:

Chapter 5 on the maxims of equity deals with the Supreme Court’s decision in Lehtimaki v Cooper [2020] UKSC 33 and the High Court of Australia’s decision in Smethurst v Commissioner of Police, both on the maxim that equity will not suffer a wrong to be without a remedy.
Lehtimaki v Cooper [2020] UKSC 33 is also dealt with in chapter 10 in connection with the control of fiduciary powers, as is an important case from Bermuda, Grand View Private Trust Co Ltd v Wong [2020] CA (Bda) 6 Civ.
Lehtimaki v Cooper [2020] UKSC 33 is also considered in chapter 7 on Fiduciaries.
