These features include self-assessment questions and exercises, chapter summaries, diagrams, and guides to further reading.Recent developments include: Charities Act 2006; Law Commission work on Cohabitation and Trustee Exemption Clauses, 2006; Re Farepak Foods (2006); Re Horley Town Football Club (2006); Barlow Clowes International Ltd. v Eurotrust International Ltd (2006); Charter plc v City Index Ltd (2007); Stack v Dowden (HL, 2007).
