The book provides a comprehensive coverage of the law of trusts in Australia. More than that, it addresses the conceptual difficulties inherent in the law, interpreting the anomalies of a large number of judicial decisions, often critically. Ong unravels the complex area of trusts law in a logical exposition, enhanced by useful summaries at the end of each chapter. Of particular interest are the examinations of resulting trusts, constructive trusts and tracing, which comprise the most provocative sections of the book. It is an important analysis for students of trusts and practitioners alike. - Publisher.
