Reviews:

"The new Underhill and Hayton is a work which should be on the shelves of everyone who practises in this area."
Penelope Reed, 4 Stone Buildings, 2007, review of previous edition

"Every adviser whose practice could involve an element of equity or trusts or trustees must have this book. It could be negligent not to do so."
