Synopsis
Excerpt from Equity, Also the Forms of Action at Common Law: Two Courses of Lectures
Amongst the cases given as references in the footnotes Equity lawyers may miss certain authorities to which they frequently refer, but as the lectures were intended, at least primarily, for the student, we have often preferred to give, by way of reference, some modern case reported in the Law Reports series, and for that reason more accessible and more useful to the student. We have referred in the notes to the chief cases decided since Maitland's death upon the points dealt with in the text.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the historical development of Equity, a crucial set of legal principles that arose alongside the common law in England. The author traces the origins of Equity back to the medieval period, exploring how the Chancellor, initially a royal advisor, gradually assumed judicial powers to address injustices that the rigid common law courts couldn't handle. Through an engaging narrative, the book examines how the Chancellor's interventions evolved into a distinct body of rules known as Equity. These rules aimed to mitigate the harshness of common law by considering fairness and conscience in individual cases. The author sheds light on key concepts like uses and trusts, equitable estates, and remedies such as specific performance and injunctions. By illuminating the historical relationship between Equity and common law, this book offers valuable insights into the evolution of English legal thought and practice. It demonstrates how Equity, born out of a need for flexibility and fairness, continues to shape the legal landscape to this day.
