Synopsis

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the principles and practice of equity jurisprudence. It examines the historical development of equity as a distinct body of law alongside the Common Law, and the evolution of its application in legal proceedings. The author delves into the key areas of equity jurisdiction, including the roles of accident, mistake, and fraud, and the crucial subject of trusts. The book explores the concept of equity as a system of justice that aims to redress inequities not addressed by the Common Law. It examines how equity, through its distinct forms of relief, has historically provided a vital counterbalance to the strictness and limitations of the Common Law. The author's explanations of the complex concepts and historical evolution of equity jurisprudence make this a valuable resource for both practitioners and students seeking a deeper understanding of this essential legal field.
