The study includes the basic features of the available legal institutions (for example, whether they provide bankruptcy protection or allow free choice of governing law) and specialized applications in particular fields (such as pensions and collective investment schemes). Produced with a team of over 20 contributors, it is the latest volume to appear from the Trent-based project The Common Core of European Private Law.The volume begins with a study of the history of comparative law scholarship in the field of trusts, situating the current work in the field and addressing the thorny issue of terminology. The comparative data are structured, according to the Common Core methodology, around hypothetical questions and responses from national reporters. The authors present comparative conclusions regarding the reports and a discussion of the issues raised for further study. The volume also includes an essay by Donovan Waters QC on the Hague Convention on the Law Applicable to Trusts and on their Recognition.

Book excerpt: In European legal systems, a variety of approaches to trust and relationships of trust meet the universal professionalisation of asset management services. This book explores that interface in order to seek a better understanding of the legal regulation of the entrustment of wealth. Within the methodology of the Common Core of European Private Law, the book sets out cases on the establishment and termination of management relationships, obligations of loyalty and of professionalism, and the choice of law. More specialized cases address collective investment, collective secured lending, pension funds, and securitisation. Reports on these cases from fifteen jurisdictions of the European Union tackle fundamental problems of trust law and show which legal techniques are deployed to solve them across Europe. In addition to a much-needed comparative treatment of the subject, the book discusses the scholarly setting for the issues and gives guidance on the terminology in the evolving European scene.

Download or read book Principles of European Trust Law written by David J. Hayton and published by . This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the ratification of the Hague Trust Convention by the Netherlands & Italy, the question of whether civil law countries ought to have a trust or a legal institution resembling it has gained importance. The Business & Law Research Centre at the University of Nijmegen founded an international working group of experts in the field of trust law in 1996. This group developed eight principles of European trust law designed to facilitate transactions within European jurisdictions, to enable countries to recognise the potential for the development of new domestic legal concepts & to provide guidance as to how these developments can be framed in different legal & socio-economic contexts. This book provides a detailed analysis of these principles both from a common law & a civil law point of view. In particular, the national reports give an overview of the current law relating to trusts & fiduciary relationships and, in the case of civil law jurisdictions, whether the trust concept can be incorporated in the domestic legal systems on the basis of the eight principles.
Download or read book Modern International Developments in Trust Law written by David Hayton and published by Springer. This book was released on 1999-03-10 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is concerned with the development of the trust idea in common law jurisdictions, whether mainland or offshore, and in civil law jurisdictions. While trusts are important for preserving family wealth and influence, over ninety per cent of the value of trust funds is found in commercial or financial trusts, about which little has been written. It is interest in the latter type of trust that is likely to lead to the development of the trust idea in European mainland jurisdictions, especially as the economic destinies of European jurisdictions become increasingly intertwined and as the Hague Convention on the Recognition of Trusts comes to be implemented. In this volume the work of leading trust scholars in Canada, England, the USA, Germany and Japan is brought together to explore key issues in trust law, until now not covered in any single resource: the full elasticity of the trust concept; the variety and significance of commercial or financial trusts; the scope for reforming trust law in various jurisdictions to make it more economically efficient in assisting in the preservation and generation of wealth; the potential for the development of a core trust concept in civil law jurisdictions as a special part of the law of obligations, without any need to create equitable proprietary interests in favour of beneficiaries. Modern International Developments in Trust Law will be of interest not only to academic trust lawyers and comparative lawyers, but to common law and civil law practitioners, whether interested in taking advantage of foreign trust laws, or in developing in their local jurisdictions new ideas obtained from foreign jurisdictions.

Download or read book The New European Private Law Vol 3 Essays on the Future of Private Law in Europe written by Martijn Hesselink and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2002-10-16 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The New European Private Law, Martijn W. Hesselink presents a revised and supplemented collection of essays written over the last five years on European private law. He argues that the creation of a common private law in Europe is not merely a matter of rediscovering the old ius commune or of neutrally establishing the present 'common core' which may be codified in a European Civil Code. Rather, it is a matter of making choices, some of which may be highly controversial. In this book he discusses some of the most important choices which will have to be made with regard to culture, principles, politics, models, rights, concepts and structure in the new European private law.
Download or read book Trusts in Mixed Legal Systems written by J. Michael Milo and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the introduction to a special issue of the European Review of Private Law on trusts in mixed jurisdictions. It considers to what extent mixed legal systems, such as those of Scotland, South-Africa and Quebec, can offer an attractive model for an international variant of trust. Two recent developments have increased the need to reconcile the Anglo-American trust with principles of civil law. The first is the overall tendency of unifying or harmonizing areas of private law, and especially commercial law, and therefore also trust laws, not only in Europe but also elsewhere. The second is the entry into force of The Hague Convention on the Law Applicable to Trusts and on their Recognition, which makes questions regarding the effect of trusts recognized in a civil jurisdiction imminent.

Download or read book The Future of European Private Law written by André Janssen and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until a few years ago, nothing seemed impossible in terms of the further development of European Private Law. Important projects such as the Common Frame of Reference and a Common European Sales Law were discussed, even a European Civil Code seemed to be within reach. With the failure of these ideas, however, the great visions for European Private Law have become silent, which does not take away from the fact that it is nevertheless developing steadily, only in a more small-scale and fragmentary manner than originally envisioned. This book aims on the one hand to show the state of development of European Private Law in all its facets, and on the other hand to answer the question of what the acquis communautaire of the future should look like. --
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Fiduciary Law written by Evan J. Criddle and published by Oxford Handbooks. This book was released on 2019-05-27 with total page 1028 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Fiduciary Law provides a comprehensive overview of critical topics in fiduciary law and theory through chapters authored by leading scholars. The Handbook opens with surveys of the many fields of law in which fiduciary duties arise, including agency law, trust law, corporate law, pension law, bankruptcy law, family law, employment law, legal representation, health care, and international law. Drawing on these surveys, the Handbook offers a synthetic analysis of fiduciary law's key concepts and principles. Chapters in the Handbook explore the defining features of fiduciary relationships, clarify the distinctive fiduciary duties that arise in these relationships, and identify the remedies available for breach of fiduciary duties. The volume also provides numerous comparative perspectives on fiduciary law from eminent legal historians and from scholars with deep expertise in a diverse array of the world's legal systems. Finally, the Handbook lays the groundwork for future research on fiduciary law and theory by highlighting cross-cutting themes, identifying persistent theoretical and practical challenges, and exploring how the field could be enriched through empirical analysis and interdisciplinary insights from economics, philosophy, and psychology. Unparalleled in its breadth and depth of coverage, The Oxford Handbook of Fiduciary Law represents an invaluable resource for practitioners, policymakers, scholars, and students in this essential field of law.
