Excerpt from A Manual of Equity Jurisprudence: For Practitioners and Students; Founded on the Works of Story and Other Writers, Comprising the Fundamental Principles and the Points of Equity Usually Occurring in General
Since the date of the Fourteenth Edition, the Partnership Act, 1890 the Custody of Children Act, 1891; the Mortmain Act, 1891; the Voluntary Conveyances. Act, 1893; the Trustee Acts, 1893 and 1894 the Judicial Trustees Act, 1896; and the Land Transfer Act, 1897, with other statutes, have been passed, and many important cases have been decided which affect the subject-matter of this Work.
In the preparation of this Edition, the design has been to shorten and simplify, where feasible, the statements of the principles of Equity, and to make the additions and alterations necessitated by recent legislation and decisions of the Courts. A selection of recent cases to December, 1899, which appeared most appropriate to the object and scope of the Work, has been added. For other cases omitted from want of space, the reader is referred to the Works on which this Manual purports to be founded.
The Trustee Act, 1893, and the Land Transfer Act, 1897 Part L, the provisions of which have been incorporated in the text, have, on account of their importance, been set out in the Appendix.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. 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.
