Book review of "Equity and Trusts Commentary and Materials" by G.E. Dal Pont, Thomson Reuters, 5th Edition

[Extract] This is the fifth edition of this title and the release of this edition is timely in that it accompanies the release of its textbook counterpart, Equity and Trusts in Australia, also by Professor Dal Pont. The preface identifies that the new edition is necessary to address the numerous cases since the publication of the fourth edition in 2007. It cannot be disputed that, since the release of the previous edition, there have been a significant number of High Court cases of interest, all of which have been included in the new edition.2 The book also includes reference to two pertinent statutory initiatives; namely the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) and the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (Cth). However, the extent to which these latter materials are expounded is relatively low compared with the detail afforded to the new cases incorporated into the text
