The Law of Trusts Reviews

An excellent account of the modern law of trusts. Succinct and to the point, generations of students will feel indebted to Professor Penner for his clear explanations of these concepts. * Dr Gwilym Owen, Bangor University *
The author's enthusiasm manifests itself on every page, bringing the subject to life. As well as being captivating, this book elucidates, and critically analyses, the core legal principles and the subject's conceptual apparatus. * Associate Professor Luke Rostill, Trinity College, University of Oxford *
This is a terrific book. Opinionated, written in an engaging voice, ready to introduce secondary material from academic writers and critique the law. The chapters are at a nice level of detail, whilst maintaining a good length for inclusion on reading lists. It could, almost, be the only textbook needed. * Dr Edward Goodwin, University of Nottingham (review from previous edition). *
An excellent introduction to trusts law. It not only sets out lucidly and accurately the underlying principles of law. It encourages students to be critical and analytical in the study of this intellectually challenging subject. * Professor Anton Cooray, City University London (review from previous edition). *
