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 Trusts A Modern Analysis written by Robert Chambers and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides law students with a clearly written and accessible introduction to the law of trusts and its place in modern private law. This fascinating subject has produced a vocabulary and legal structure that are not to be found elsewhere. The law of trusts continues to evolve to meet modern challenges in many different areas of the law including commercial law, pension funds, and restitution. Mastery of the subject requires both an understanding of very old legal concepts and an ability to apply them to modern legal problems, and this book is designed to help the reader do both. With plain language and a relaxed style, Robert Chambers explains the key concepts and essential structure of trust law and helpfully compares them to other areas of the law. The book is divided into four main parts: the trust relationship, the creation of trusts by consent and by operation of law, and breach of trust. In each part, traditional trust concepts are explained in modern terms, providing a deeper understanding of the traditional concepts and an ability to relate them to similar concepts used in other areas of law, such as contracts, torts, and unjust enrichment.
Download or read book Key Ideas in Tax Law written by Julian Ghosh KC and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-03-21 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a short and clear guide to key ideas which underpin the UK tax code and illustrates the wider political and economic issues students need to know about when studying tax law. Some of these key ideas are controversial and the subject of much discussion and debate. The book explains the key issues that are of fundamental juristic and philosophical importance and are common to tax codes throughout the world: What is a 'tax'? Is it different to a civil or criminal penalty? Why does this matter? Is 'taxation' necessarily a public law concept? Does the concept of 'taxation' attract constitutional considerations? Why? How do the answers to these questions play out when courts have to interpret tax provisions? Readers will come away with a clear understanding of the architecture of the UK tax code, despite its (very real) complexity.

Download or read book Key Ideas in Commercial Law written by William Day and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-06-15 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Students will find this work stimulating, engaging and enlightening. Practitioners in commercial law will find nuanced and insightful articulations of their stock-in-trade.' Sir David Foxton, Judge in Charge of the Commercial Court This book unpacks the themes and controversies that pervade commercial law. Commercial parties trade in three things: property, services and credit. In all but the most basic of businesses, a commercial enterprise must have more than one individual empowered to transact on its behalf. The rules at the heart of commercial law are those that govern when and how a person can bargain for property, services and credit, and to acquire, dispose of, and create interests in assets. Many of these are default rules, which the parties can vary by agreement. Other rules – such as those concerning the priority of competing title claims to assets – are mandatory. Commercial law also involves the taking and allocation of two types of risk: the risk of inadequate or non-performance of agreed obligations, and the risk that counterparties will lack the means to pay what is owed. This book explores the key ideas in commercial law through these five topics: trade, transacting, title, performance risk, and credit risk.

Download or read book Key Ideas in Contract Law written by Nicholas McBride and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-08-10 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the reader to a number of ideas and issues that underlie the English law of contract-an area of law that is often regarded as forbiddingly dry and technical but which is here made easy to understand and full of interest. Taking as its starting point the role contract law plays in helping markets to operate, the book explains how contract law regulates the commercial risks people take, while at the same time placing limits on what may be bought and sold, and ensuring that contractual powers are not unacceptably abused. A final chapter discusses how contract law can be used to make gifts of binding promises to other people. The book provides a rigorous and stimulating journey through the ideas underpinning contract law and is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the subject. 'Clearly written and bursting with interesting and novel ideas, this lively book will be a great resource for anyone interested in Contract Law.' Paul S Davies, Professor of Commercial Law, University College London

Download or read book Handbook of the Law of Trusts written by George Gleason Bogert and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-17 with total page 687 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of the Law of Trusts The object of this book is to give to practitioners and students a compact summary of the fundamental principles of the American law relating to trusteeships. It is hoped that lawyers will be able by the use of the book to obtain ready information on the large, outstanding problems in the field, and to gain starting points for research into the more recondite and complicated questions. The law student will, it is believed, find in the book: sufficient material to furnish him that groundwork which is the maximum possible of attainment in his preliminary studies. Space limitations have prevented detailed treatment of the English law and extended discussion of matters of principle. These must be reserved for a text-book which purports to be all-inclusive. In the arrangement of topics the author has varied somewhat from the standard analysis. This change has been made partly with the purpose of facilitating the work of the reader in finding the law and partly because it has appealed to the author as logical. An effort has been made to classify the material under headings which represent the principal practical problems arising in the administration of trusts, as well as to develop the trust relation in sequence from beginning to end. The chapters on the trust purpose are illustrative of these departures from the customary outline. What may be the trust purpose is a frequently occurring question in practical affairs, and the trust purpose is one element of the trust relationship which logically deserves treatment. Some statutory matters have been dealt with in considerable detail, as, for example, the Statute of Frauds. Effort has been made to set forth as far as possible the peculiarities existing in the states which have statutory trust systems, as, for instance. New York, Michigan, and California. The important distinction between the states which have modified and partially codified the law of trusts, and those jurisdictions which retain the English system almost wholly untouched by legislation, is not always appreciated.
