DescriptionThis book covers all the doctrines and principles of equity, apart from trusts and specialized aspects such as mortgages, infants and restrictive covenants. It deals with the history and development of this branch of the law, examines the effects of the judicature system and expands the fundamental concepts of equity, equitable estates and interest, assignments, depositions and priorities. The doctrines and remedies of equity are examined individually and the grounds upon which equity intervenes to rescind transactions are considered in detail. All these aspects are discussed against a background of case law in Australia, English authorities and, where appropriate, authorities from other jurisdictions are also cited.
