Download or read book Fiduciary Law written by Tamar Frankel and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Fiduciary Law, Tamar Frankel examines the structure, principles, themes, and objectives of fiduciary law. Fiduciaries, which include corporate managers, money managers, lawyers, and physicians among others, are entrusted with money or power. Frankel explains how fiduciary law is designed to offer protection from abuse of this method of safekeeping. She deals with fiduciaries in general, and identifies situations in which fiduciary law falls short of offering protection. Frankel analyzes fiduciary debates, and argues that greater preventive measures are required. She offers guidelines for determining the boundaries and substance of fiduciary law, and discusses how failure to enforce fiduciary law can contribute to failing financial and economic systems. Frankel offers ideas and explanations for the courts, regulators, and legislatures, as well as the fiduciaries and entrustors. She argues for strong legal protection against abuse of entrustment as a means of encouraging fiduciary services in society. Fiduciary Law can help lawyers and policy makers designing the future law and the systems that it protects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to provide a detailed and thorough doctrinal analysis of the unit trust. The author examines the history of the unit trust as the outcome of the conceptual marriage of the trust and the company. He then examines the contractual and the trust aspects of its constitution and assesses their implications on doctrines of perpetuities, Saunders v. Vautier and frustration, and also on remedies. The character of relationships, the obligations of the trustee and the manager, and the nature of units as personal properties are then analysed. Such analysis is not just of academic interest: it is of much practical relevance too. The book will be invaluable to all those requiring a better understanding of the unit trust.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this book is to report on contemporary trends in the defence research community on trust in teams, including inter- and intra-team trust, multi-agency trust and coalition trust. The book also considers trust in information and automation, taking a systems view of humans as agents in a multi-agent, socio-technical, community. The different types of trust are usually found to share many of the same emotive, behavioural, cognitive and social constructs, but differ in the degree of importance associated with each of them. Trust in Military Teams is written by defence scientists from the USA, Canada, Australia and the UK, under the auspices of The Transfer Cooperation Programme. It is representative of the latest thinking on trust in teams, and is written for defence researchers, postgraduate students, academics and practitioners in the human factors community.
