Description
Trusts law is thriving in the Asia-Pacific region. This comes as no surprise: Asia-Pacific is the world’s most populous region with the fastest economic growth rate; and the trust is well-known for its significant contribution to societal stability and economic prosperity. However, little is known about the use and development of trusts law in the region: Asia-Pacific’s rich cultural, linguistic, and ideological diversity, not to mention its multiplicity of legal traditions, poses analytical and practical challenges for an inclusive and systematic region-wide analysis of trusts law.
Drawing on the pioneering project and book series “Asia-Pacific Trusts Law”, this seminar will reflect on five unique lessons that the region can offer to trusts law scholarship and practice. It will discuss: the status of trusts law in the region; the nature of the trust and how it affects the transplantation of trusts; the dimensions of the trust and how jurisdictions utilise them; constructive and resulting trusts; and choice of law rules for trusts.
