Programme

Sir Michael Birt, Q.C., former Bailiff of Jersey

  • How do you reconstitute a trust fund for breach of trust if one or more of the beneficiaries are barred from complaining? The forthcoming appellate decision in Crociani may help with the answer.
  • When the trust fund cannot meet all the demands on it, who has priority? Re Z Trusts is under appeal.
  • Not a sham but not a trust: how will Pugachev be viewed offshore?

Lynton Tucker
  • What is left of trustees’ confidentiality?
  • Voluntary and involuntary disclosure to trustees
  • Dawson-Damer after the GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018: can we forget it?

 

Nicholas Le Poidevin, Q.C.

  • Changes of proper law, changes of trustee: what are the problems?
  • Meritus v Butterfield: how exposed are trustees when leaving office?
  • Remedies and rights after a change of proper law

 

Case-study and panel discussion

  • The case-study will focus on a beneficiary entitled under the law of country A (the new proper law) but not the law of country B (the old proper law) when the trustees make a distribution to the beneficiary.
  • What challenges can be raised against the distribution or the change of proper law? What disclosure can be obtained?
  • If successful, what is the remedy when other beneficiaries approved the distribution?
