Review(s) from previous edition""...she writes in simple and meaningful terms (without being simplistic) and generally without sacrificing accuracy" Common Law World Review
""...her analysis of the issues is clear and crisp." Common Law World Review"
""Worthington has produced a monumental work...No one who is interested in the future development of the law will want to be without it; and no one who has any part to play in that process can afford to be." The Rt Hon The Lord Millett"
""An excellent example of Worthington's lucid style is provided by her exposition of 'mere equity', a concept that most law students (and, I am sure, many equity and property lawyers) struggle to come to grips with." Common Law World Review"
