Litigating Constructive Trusts

“In this treatise, Paul Golden, a brilliant lawyer with a lifelong passion for magic, deftly reveals the equity court’s sleight of hand in converting thieving villains (or commercial adversaries) to trustees—of the constructive sort. In this well ordered and accessible work, Mr. Golden takes the reader behind the scenes and, step by step, walks us through the law and procedure of this otherwise subtle and mystifying area of law. This book should be on the shelves of any serious commercial litigator, or neutral, who might need to open the mystery of this equitable remedy in matters in a variety of substantive arenas.” — “Once a sterling student and now an accomplished appellate lawyer, Paul Golden has written that most improbable of books: an engaging, entertaining, and eminently readable account of constructive trusts. With a surpassing knowledge of the foibles and frauds that have occasioned the use of this most distinctive remedial tool, Golden portrays law (and equity) as an extraordinary response to the passions and pratfalls of ordinary people.” Table of Contents: Appendix A: Sample Complaints Appendix B: Sample Affirmative Defenses and Counterclaims in a Constructive Trust Case Appendix C: Deposition Issues
