This long-awaited update to the leading publication on the law of trusts in Jersey offers the most comprehensive analysis available. It provides a consideration of the Trusts (Jersey) Law 1984 as it currently stands, and the case law which has been developed in the Jersey courts, particularly over the last twenty years. It is essential reading for trustees and those advising on, and litigating in relation to, Jersey trusts.

  • A thorough account of the legal principles underlying Jersey law
  • A detailed analysis of the structure and application of the Trusts (Jersey) Law 1984
  • A commentary on the amendments made by the Trusts (Jersey) (Amendment No. 5) Law 2012
  • Discussion of the case law on the Hastings-Bass principle and analysis of the current status of the principle in Jersey
  • Analysis of the non-charitable purpose trust and its uses
