Resulting Trusts

Most of the current academic writing about the resulting trust is found in the established textbooks on equity and trusts and these tend to provide little more than catalogues of the situations in which the resulting trust arises. This book examines the true nature of the resulting trust and the question whether the trusts brought into being to reverse unjust enrichment should not include resulting trusts. It is the first modern book devoted exclusively to examining this little understood branch of the law of trusts. In doing so it examines all recent doctrine, a mass of case law and the views of courts in a number of jurisdictions.
