This article looks at three early cases dealing with the equitable doctrine of undue \ninfluence, arising out of donations to religious groups and institutions. It will explore \neach of the three cases in turn, by placing them in their appropriate historical, social, \nreligious and political context. By better understanding the cases we also get a better \ninsight into the modern law of undue influence and the societal context in which it \noperates, and what are today the right questions for lawyers and judges to ask when \ndealing with undue influence, particularly undue influence within a religious context.
