PLRG Public Seminar: Trusts and Statutes in the Australian Federation by Professor Matthew Harding

This paper explores the interaction of statute law with judge-made trusts law against the backdrop of the Australian federal system of government. The speaker will highlight ways in which this interaction brings into clearer focus the distinctive policy objectives that underpin judge-made trusts law, as well as ways in which judge-made trusts law has identified and addressed social problems in advance of Australian statute law. In doing so, he considers charitable trusts, trusts of the family home, and trading trusts.
