The eighth edition of Equity and Trusts: Commentary and Materials builds on the strengths of the previous editions, maintaining its focus on prefacing case and statutory extracts by statements of principle to guide the student, and following extracts by comments and questions that both test the reader's understanding and develop aspects of extracted material. Every effort has been made to make the work as accessible to the student as possible - in the main by ensuring that most extracts are not unduly lengthy - while at the same time focusing, chiefly via questions and commentary, on the learning outcomes essential to the study of equity and trusts. This new edition includes extracts from important High Court judgments delivered since late 2018, including Australian Securities and Investments Commission v Kobelt on unconscionable dealing, and Pipikos v Trayans on part performance. Other significant decisions, including from the Singapore Court of Appeal in BOK v BOL on unconscionable dealing, the New Zealand Supreme Court in 127 Hobson Street Ltd v Honey Bees Preschool Ltd on penalties, and the Australian High Court in Carter Holt Harvey Woodproducts Australia Pty Ltd v Commonwealth on trustees' rights, are the subject of briefer extracts and commentary in the notes. The latter also make frequent reference to relevant provisions in the Trusts Act 2019 (NZ) as a comparator. The eighth edition, to this end, retains its progressive focus, and challenges readers to evaluate Australian law in its modern context. Equity and Trusts: Commentary and Materials works as an ideal companion to the eighth edition of Equity and Trusts in Australia, which adopts the same chapter order and structure. Being written by the same author, the text and casebook present a consistent style and approach, making them ideal for teaching on equity courses, trusts courses or combined equity and trusts courses.
