Commercial Aspects of Trusts and Fiduciary Obligations

Zusatztext 'immense value ... there are 11 first rate papers on equity operating ... in a commercial context ... not a book to be dipped into, but one to be devoured whole'Paul Matthews, Lloyd's Maritime and Commercial Law Quarterly Klappentext The origins of this book lie in the first Oxford Law Colloquium held in St. John's College, Oxford, on 12-13 September 1991, organized by the Faculty of Law of the University of Oxford and The Norton Rose M5 Group, a national association of seven major independent law firms. This, it is hoped, will be the first of many such conferences run on a biennial basis. The aim of each conference will be to combine the specialist knowledge of both practising and academic lawyers on a selected subject, enabling the exploration of fundamental concepts, principles, policies, and trends in particular fields of law of mutual interest and importance. The subject of this first conference - Commercial Aspects of Trusts and Fiduciary Obligations - was chosen for its considerable theoretical and practical importance, and the contributors amply demonstrate both the impact of the law of trusts and the law of fiduciaries upon such diverse subjects as company law and insolvency law and the continuing need for further discussion on the relationship between equity and commercial law. Zusammenfassung The theme of the essays in this volume recognizes the continuing practical importance of equity in the law today. It focuses on the commercial context, in particular the fiduciary obligations of those in whom trust or confidence is reposed and in the consequences of any breach of those obligations.
