Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One reason that plaintiffs desire to prove a breach of fiduciary obligation is that remedies following such a breach are more extensive than the remedies following a breach of contract or a tort. One of the most important of these remedies following a breach of fiduciary duty is the constructive trust. But the courts have been aware of this and so have been cautious about finding a breach of fiduciary duty. This paper will explain how the courts find a breach of a fiduciary duty and, particularly, their approach to imposing the constructive trust to remedy this breach.

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 405 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.
Download or read book Essays in Conveyancing and Property Law in Honour of Professor Robert Rennie written by Frankie McCarthy and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2015-05-11 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Robert Rennie has been one of the most influential voices in Scots private law over the past thirty years. Highly respected as both an academic and a practitioner, his contribution to the development of property law and practice has been substantial and unique. This volume celebrates his retirement from the Chair of Conveyancing at the University of Glasgow in 2014 with a selection of essays written by his peers and colleagues from the judiciary, academia and legal practice. Each chapter covers a topic of particular interest to Professor Rennie during his career, from the historical development of property law rules through to the latest developments in conveyancing practice and the evolution of the rules of professional negligence. Although primarily Scottish in focus, the contributions will have much of interest to lawyers in any jurisdiction struggling with similar practical problems, particularly those with similar legal roots including the Netherlands and South Africa. As a whole, the collection is highly recommended to students, practitioners and academics.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Fiduciary Law written by Evan J. Criddle and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-29 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.
Download or read book A Jurisprudential Basis for the Remedial Constructive Trust written by Rod Thomas and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The constructive trust is a misunderstood area of jurisprudence. The perceived difficulties have been exacerbated over the last 40 years by the development in Commonwealth jurisdictions of a 'remedial' constructive trust. This thesis suggests that the constructive trust can be understood by reconsideration of the nature of a beneficiary's interest under the trust.Under the analysis undertaken, constructive trusts are seen as belonging to one of three different classifications.First is the policy constructive trust. This is a trust imposed by equity irrespective of individual fault, and dependent on the status of the parties.The second category is the proprietary constructive trust. Its imposition centers on the perception that the beneficiary has retained beneficial ownership of the trust property. It is our understanding of this classification that is questioned in the following material.Finally, there is the discretionary constructive trust. It is this form of trust that has caused the most consternation in recent years. The trust is imposed by a court sui generis, to give a personal remedy with proprietary consequences. The application of this trust is seen to arise as a result of equity's emerging trend of requiring a standard of fair behavior between parties in relationships recognized to have legal effect at law.As a consequence, the perception of the beneficiary owning the trust property is found to be misleading, holding back a principled development of personal liability in equity with proprietary consequences.

Download or read book Fiduciary Law written by Tamar Frankel and published by . 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.
