Abstract:
This is a fresh approach on the subject by a scholar of long standing. The author is fully aware of the role that the principles of equity play in adapting legal principles to changing conditions in society and it is in this background that he has explained the various principles of equity. Not only this, he also appreciates that the principles of equity must themselves undergo change, and has given his suggestions wherever pertinent. He has, as he quotes in the preface, dealt with "the effect and operation of legal rules, with their aims and reason, (rather) than with mechanistic problem of internal consistency of decisions within the framework of any given system".
