Lord Briggs shared a wealth of insights on recent developments in the law of equity in the provision of remedies to tackle both novel and age-old issues. With particular reference to recent UK Supreme Court and Privy Council case law, and citing recent Hong Kong authorities on highly topical legal issues such as property in cryptocurrencies, Lord Briggs surveyed the functions served by equity in the modern age, and the influential role that other common law jurisdictions play in the development of equitable remedies.
