Download or read book The Quistclose Trust written by William Swadling and published by Hart Publishing. This book was released on 2004-02 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decision of the House of Lords in Twinsectra v Yardley (2002) has refocused attention on the Quistclose trust (Barclays Bank v Quistclose Ltd 1970] AC 567). Although accepted by British insolvency lawyers as a convenient tool for corporate rescue, the precise basis of the trust has always been in doubt. The purpose of these essays is to explore the supposed foundations of the trust and subject them to a searching analysis. In particular, attention will focus on Lord Millett's controversial analysis in Twinsectra of the way the trust works and his assertion that it is consistent with traditional principles of trust law.
Download or read book Quistclose Trust written by Nicole Cunha and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of quistclose was introduced in English law through the decision held by the House of Lords in Barclays Bank v Quistclose Investments Ltd. Although this decision is from 1970, until now it has been a target of huge debate among scholars in relation to its legal nature. English courts have been applying the concept of quistclose in diverse situations without consensus over its elements. Among other characteristics quistclose trusts require the application of money to a specific purpose otherwise it requires the return of the money to its payer and not to a third party beneficiary. Scholars diverge over the legal nature of a quistclose trust and its applicability to commercial transactions. Despite general agreement over the legal nature of a quistclose its structure might be helpful in minimizing lender's risk in project finance and in loan transactions with companies in finance distress.

Download or read book A Normative Approach to the Quistclose Trust written by Emily Hudson and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first article to undertake a sustained analysis of normative justifications for the Quistclose trust. Whilst much of the existing writing on this topic has focused on the better classification of such trusts - for instance, whether they are express, resulting, constructive or sui generis - this article asks why the law should recognise a trust in addition to any underlying legal relationship. Four key justifications are addressed, based on respecting party intention, unconscionability, fairness, and the incentivisation of desirable transactions. It will be argued that: (i) there are difficulties with each of these justifications, although an intention-focused explanation is probably the most convincing; and (ii) the existing law and commentary lacks coherence and consistency, as seen in the mismatch between normative and doctrinal analysis, and the failure to properly address the ramifications of the Quistclose trust during insolvency.

Download or read book Re Interpreting the Quistclose Trust written by Lusina Ho and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr Robert Chambers has recently argued that a loan on Quistclose terms does not actually create a trust, but rather the borrower receives the entire beneficial ownership of the funds subject only to a contractual right (enforceable by an injunction) on the part of the lender to prevent the loan being employed other than for the specified purpose. Chambers' approach, or at least something broadly similar, has received some obiter support from Potter LJ in Twinsectra Ltd v. Yardley. This article maintains that Chambers' analysis leaves unresolved a number of significant issues. It does not explain Potter LJ's emphasis on the requirement to segregate the Quistclose funds from the borrower's general assets. Similarly, it seems not applicable outside the typical Quistclose scenario; for instance, where the funds are wrongfully transferred to a third party before the failure of the specified purpose, where the Quistclose arrangement arises outside a contractual setting, and where the dispute involves a third party holding a (pre-existing) charge. Accordingly, it is suggested that it would be quite premature to conclude that more orthodox explanations of the Quistclose trust should now be jettisoned.
Download or read book Rationalising Constructive Trusts written by Ying Khai Liew and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-09-21 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constructive trusts significantly interfere with the rights of an apparent legal owner of property. This makes it necessary for their imposition to be properly explained and justified. Unfortunately, attempts to rationalise constructive trusts as a whole-as opposed to specific doctrines or particular aspects of constructive trusts-have been few and far between. Rationalising Constructive Trusts proposes a new structure for a coherent understanding of constructive trusts. By using a combination of conceptual tools, it provides answers to a number of crucial questions, for example: What are the ingredients of a constructive trust claim? What are the limits of constructive trusts? How can we rationalise the imposition of constructive trusts in particular situations? Why do judges exercise varying degrees of remedial discretion in different doctrines? From a wider perspective, the structured understanding helps us to appreciate the precise ambit and role of express, constructive, and resulting trusts.
