EQUITABLE REMEDIES is regarded as the most thorough and in-depth treatise on equitable remedies in the common law world today. The first edition was described by Sir Owen Dixon as "the best legal book to have come out of Australia". This 8th edition of Equitable Remedies continues to uphold its reputation as an up-to-date and reliable source of information with respect to injunctions, specific performance, rectification and equitable damages. Thenew edition analyses a series of important decisions relating to the extra-territorial effect of equitable orders, the application of statutes of limitation, mandatory and prohibiting injunctions, special requirements for ex parte orders, and questions relating to rectification: From the English Court of Appeal, Masri v Consolidated Contractors International (U.K.) Ltd (No 2) and (No 3), the extra-territorial effect of equitable orders received extended analysis, with wide commercial ramifications. In the Court of Appeal in P. & O. Nedlloyd B.V. v Arab Metals Co., statutes of limitation in equitable proceedings were examined. The Privy Council decision In National Commercial Bank Jamaica Ltd. V. Olint Corporation Ltd. examined the relationship of mandatory and prohibiting injunctions, as well as the special requirements that must be satisfied before an order is made ex parte. In Chartbrook Ltd v. Persimmon Homes Ltd. a number of the more contentious questions relating to rectification were considered by the House of Lords. Dr Ian Spry again applies his leading analysis to these new developments, ensuring Equitable Remedies 8th edition remains the essential resource on the subject.
