The LexisNexis Study Guide series is designed to assist law students with the foundations for effective, systematic revision and preparation for assignments and exams. Each chapter of this text clearly identifies and explains challenging components of the key principles in equity. The most important and recent cases are summarised to consolidate practical understanding of the theoretical concepts underpinning this critical area of the law. Concise summaries of key cases and principles simplify exam study and short and concise paragraphs, bullet-pointed summaries, visuals, flowcharts and tables facilitate revision.
