Synopsis
A Selection Of Leading Cases In Equity: With Notes by Frederick Thomas White is a scholarly cross-referenced legal reference that compiles leading equity decisions across trusts, property, and related remedies, drawing on English and American authorities. Part 4 presents a structured index that links topics such as Purchasers and purchase money; Fiduciaries and conflicts; Trust structures and remedies; Donative and voluntary transfers; Marital and family provisions; Real property and mortgages; Specific performance and remedies; and Miscellaneous doctrines. It emphasizes the interplay between equitable and legal interests, the duties of trustees, executors, guardians and fiduciaries, and rules against self-dealing, fraud, and improper procurement. The text discusses remedies, including specific performance, injunctions, equitable conversion, and cy-pres, and covers mortgage priority, exoneration of personal estate, and future advances. A local summary examines the doctrine of a wife’s equity to settlements, its extension to children, and supplemental relief as seen in Murray V. Lord Elibank. The work targets lawyers and scholars researching trusts, estates, and equity, and cites both English and U.S. authorities.
