Synopsis

"A Selection Of Leading Cases In Equity: With Notes" by Owen Davies; Tudor John Innes Clark Hare; Horace Binney Wallace; Frederick Thomas White. The volume offers a broad, case?driven survey of English equity law from the late seventeenth century onward, pairing leading decisions with interpretive notes. It opens with the Bona Fide Purchasers doctrine, using Basset V Nosworthy as a central example to examine how a purchaser for valuable consideration without notice may defend against claims to superior title, and how equity may protect such title at both law and equity, including possession and estate. The work then canvasses related doctrines—specific performance, parol evidence and the Statute of Frauds, trusts, ademption, and marshaling of assets—across English and American authorities, highlighting tensions between written instruments and equitable relief. Across numerous authorities, the text traces evolving views on legal vs. equitable titles, notice, and the limits of protection for purchasers, noting that the analysis remains ongoing as the treatise proceeds step by step through further authorities.
