ABSTRACT

In university law school courses, it is common to think of trusts law as being simply a technical subject, or even as being a bit boring. It becomes easy to think of the law you study as being ‘just one thing after another’ as your lecturers wheel out yet another topic in a new series of lectures. Many of the cases in Part 2 of this book in particular came from earlier centuries with distant people doing vague things which have caused obscure tests to balance on a knife edge. It is easy to see a lot of this as being irrelevant in the world.
