Key Ideas in Trusts Law

McBride is a master craftsman, who has turned his eye to a difficult and sometimes underappreciated subject. His comments are perceptive, and drawn from his wide knowledge of English private law. His analysis is (customarily) sharp. It is a very impressive text. I have recommended it to all my incoming students as a text to read in advance of their trusts studies. – Julius Grower * University of Oxford *Well-written and engaging, and gets to some of the key debates. Very useful in that it allows you to get an overview of surrounding topics and thus delve deeper. – Derek Whayman * Newcastle University *A very useful and thoughtful book which provides a good foundation for the course, whilst being challenging and thought-provoking. – Graham Virgo * University of Cambridge *This is a very good, short title, integrating recent developments in trust law and practice worldwide into the basic description of the subject. Such integration has long been desirable. I think the book does an excellent job; most trusts titles are so bulky, while this book achieves the necessary revamping and modernization within a modest frame. – Adam Hofri-Winogradow * University of British Columbia *This is one of the best short introductory books on trusts to be written in recent years. – Nick Piska * University of Kent *
