Trusts Law in Australia

The first edition of Trusts Law in Australia received praise for author Denis Ong's clear, concise and thorough exposition of the principles of trusts law, and for offering robust and persuasive discussion of these principles. This second edition has been thoroughly revised and updated, taking into account recent developments in the areas of Romalpa Clauses, knowing receipt, knowing assistance, exemption clauses for trustees, tracing, trustee's right of indemnity, constructive trusts and equitable compensation, discretionary trusts, complete constitution of gifts, beneficiaries right of access to trust documents, writing requirements, mutual wills and breach of trust and causation. The recent High Court of Australia, House of Lords and other cases Associated Alloys Pty Ltd v ACN 001 452 106 Pty Limited, Twinsectra Ltd v Yardley (The Quistclose Trust), Foskett v McKeown, Giumelli v Guimelli, MSP Nominees Pty Ltd v Commissioner of Stamps (South Australia) and Pennington v Waine receive particular scrutiny.
