Equity and Trusts is one of the seven foundations of legal knowledge required to fulfil the academic component of Bar training in England and Wales.
This module examines the rules and principles that govern the creation and administration of trusts—a distinctive method of holding property that evolved through the courts of equity—alongside related equitable doctrines. The syllabus covers the legal requirements for establishing a valid trust, including express private trusts, charitable trusts, implied and resulting trusts, and constructive trusts. It also addresses the powers and obligations of trustees and other individuals in fiduciary positions, as well as the remedies available when these duties are breached
