The book provides an overview of the operation of the cy-près doctrine in the context of modern charitable trusts law, where the wishes of a donor cannot be exactly fulfilled due to impossibility or impracticality, but where the courts will allow approximate performance. The operation of the doctrine in other contexts is considered, including damages in class actions, fines against corporate defendants, and substituted specific performance.
