Synopsis

Principles Of Equity Drafting: With An Appendix Of Forms by Hubert Lewis is a comprehensive late-19th-century reference on drafting equity pleadings in English chancery practice. The work explains the design and aims of equity pleadings, contrasting them with common-law pleadings, and outlines how a bill should present material facts, indicate the points and relief sought, and structure proceedings to secure just and complete decrees. It covers the frame and contents of bills, the distinction between allegata and probata, the treatment of conclusions of law versus direct facts, and the role of answers, demurrers, and pretences. It includes extended discussion of discovery, interrogatories, and the handling of fraud, trusts, mortgages, and administration under English chancery practice, and provides an Appendix of forms illustrating original bills, supplementary bills, interrogatories, demurrers, pleas, and answers. The author illustrates how equity pleaders must balance precision with flexibility to obtain proper relief while safeguarding the rights of both sides. The edition reflects 19th-century practice and reformulations, serving as a reference for students and practitioners.
