Description

This book provides a ground-breaking new conceptualisation and complete account of the 'Mere Equity': it charts the development of 'transformative' proprietary remedies in English Law. It sets out a conceptual framework by which to understand those transformative remedies that create equitable proprietary rights rooted in the concept of decisional-control. This allows the work to illustrate how power(s) to create an equitable interest are exercised by courts within a framework of doctrinal rules stipulating when, how, and to what end such power(s) may be exercised. This is a complex field of private law, in much need of clarification, and scholars of private law will welcome this work.
