The Commercial Uses of Trusts – Rethinking the Traditional Approach
Ruiqiao Zhang
This book provides a systematic and critical analysis of the role trusts play in modern commercial markets. Commercial trusts are complex and ever-evolving, and a reassessment of the traditional legal norms relating to them is much needed in order to provide new doctrinal insights. The book does just that: focusing on trusts in the UK, while drawing on developments in European jurisdictions and in China. It presents a thought-provoking assessment and a unified understanding of commercial trusts.

Good Faith and Relational Contracts – Theory, Practice and Future Developments
Anthony Gray
This book explores the use of the doctrine of good faith in the common law when interpreting contracts and resolving disputes. This doctrine is well-accepted in civil law, is reflected in international commercial law, and is a fundamental aspect of private law in the USA. However, its use in the UK is extremely limited. Inconsistent application has given rise to confusion and uncertainly. This innovative book brings clarity to the question, going further by suggesting how the field should develop in the future. This will be welcomed by contract lawyers in both common law and civil law jurisdictions.

Subrogation and Marshalling
Rory Gregson
This innovative book studies how subrogation and marshalling should be understood in the context of private law. Subrogation and marshalling are legal rules allowing a person to rely on another s rights against third parties. There is little examination of why the law allows this reliance. This book argues that the key to understanding subrogation is the distinctive form of the rights that it creates. The form of rights reflects a particular role in ensuring interpersonal justice: subrogation’s role is to properly distribute the burden of debts. Taking this model, the book resolves persistent controversies in the case law.
