The purpose of this volume is to chart the evolution of equity in English legal history from the medieval period to the present day. Whether by investigating the historical foundations of the modern law, the jurisprudential underpinnings of the equitable jurisdiction, or the socio-political context of discrete legal developments, this collection exposes the strands of thought which 'equity' comprises and the mechanisms by which its rules evolved.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Foster \u003c\/b\u003eis Associate Professor of Law and \u003cb\u003eCharles Mitchell \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Law, both at University College London, UK.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Hart Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52127628886290,"sku":"9781509955121","price":148.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_7760b8f7-37ca-4404-88e7-3dd3467c254b.jpg?v=1773739887","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/essays-on-the-history-of-equity-9781509955121","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
