ACMRS Press has published an edited
volume of Paul Jodrell’s Chancery Reports.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Paul Jodrell’s Chancery Reports
cover the tenure of one of the most famous of all English judges, Philip Yorke,
Lord Hardwicke (1690-1764). These reports were well known and well respected in
their original manuscript form by Lord Eldon and by Lord Campbell, who were
themselves Hardwicke’s successors on the Chancery bench a century later. The
manuscript was generally known to the lawyers of the late eighteenth century
and they were widely cited. The cases reported here cover a wide range of the
law, concentrating on the law of real property, wills and trusts, marriage
settlements, commercial law and bankruptcy, and the law of debtor and creditor.
The editor has added headnotes and footnotes that identify the cases cited by
the court and the reporter in order to make them more useful to the modern
user.
