The Law of Trusts and Equitable Obligations

by Robert A. Pearce, John Stevens

Pearce and The Law of Trusts and Equitable Obligations offers students a stimulating, contemporary perspective on a subject which is often perceived to be anachronistic, dry, abstract, academic, remote and difficult. It provides comprehensive coverage of the syllabuses for the overwhelming majority of degree level courses on the law of equity and trusts. This third edition of Pearce and The Law of Trusts and Equitable Obligations has been substantially revised to take into account the many significant developments that have occurred in the four years since the second edition was published. This new edition retains the character of its predecessor, examining the law of trusts from a modern conceptual perspective and introducing students to areas where trusts enjoy practical significance.

Sure, this is a well-researched textbook, and there is no doubting its accuracy.... HOWEVER, it is riddled with typographical errors, some of which lead to terrible consequences for unquestioning minds. Beware the lack of three categories on Chapter 4 when the description of the essential elements of a trust comes up.

Luckily I discovered this mistake early and received a new copy that lacked this omission, but it may still contain many other errors. A better proofreader is needed - shoddy work from Oxford Press this time around.
