Description

ssisting you each step of the way, Snell’s Equity provides in-depth commentary and analysis of the law of equity and offers interpretation of how the different rules can be applied to property.

Key Features:

  • Deals with equitable principles and remedies and their application in trusts, probate, and mortgages showing how equity can be used to help solve clients' problems
  • Examines the nature of equity and the maxims of equity, clearly setting out the general principles
  • Arranged by topics in which equity is used, offering expert interpretation of equity rules and how they can be applied in the different situations
  • Discusses dealings with equity including assignments of choses in action, and priorities showing how equity works in practice
  • Analyses the five ancient equitable doctrines of conversion, reconversion, election, performance, and satisfaction setting out the different ways in which equity can provide a remedy
  • Assesses the situation in which equity has intervened to safeguard those who, by their status or circumstance are in need of protection illustrating how equity can be used in different client situations
  • Considers a wide range of equitable remedies offering a choice of solutions to apply to your clients' problems

 

The 35th edition, published in December 2024, has now been updated with a first supplement published in December 2025. The Supplement takes account of a number of major decisions, including a run of cases in the Supreme Court that have developed equitable principles in important directions. These include:

  • Rukhadze v Recovery Partners GP Ltd [2025] 2 WLR 529 on the causation element of fiduciary accountability for profits
  • Stevens v Hotel Portfolio II UK Ltd [2025] 3 WLR 29 on the liabilities of dishonest assistants in breaches of fiduciary duties
  • Hopcraft v Close Brothers Ltd [2025] 3 WLR 423 on the circumstances in which fiduciary relations arise in commercial situations outside established categories and on the remedies for bribery
  • Waller-Edwards v One Savings Bank plc [2025] 2 WLR 1263 on whether a creditor would be put on equity so as to engage the “Etridge protocol” in a hybrid case where a couple sought a loan partly for their joint benefit and partly for one partner’s sole benefit
  • LA Micro Group Inc v LA Micro Group (UK) Ltd [2025] 2 WLR 1 on whether an oral agreement to transfer a shareholding was ineffective for want of formalities under s 53(1)(c) of the Law of Property Act 1925.

 

In relation to the powers of trustees, the supplement addresses two significant new decisions, being that of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in Dawson-Damer v Grampian Trust Co Ltd [2025] 1 WLR 3530, interpreting Pitt v Holt [2013] 2 AC 108 and explaining what Lord Walker meant by a breach of fiduciary duty; and that of the Court of Appeal in FS Capital Ltd v Adams [2025] EWCA Civ 53, on the consequences of violation of the improper purpose rule. On the appointment of receivers in support of foreign insolvency proceedings, the supplement mentions Kireeva v Bedzhamov [2025] AC 812, and in relation to the taking of accounts it covers Hubbard v Hubbard [2025] EWHC 855 (Ch).
