Trusts 733522
Subject Objectives
The aim of this subject is for students to develop an understanding of the law of trusts through close reading of cases, statutes and scholarly writing and through participation in class discussion. It is expected that, on completion of the subject, students will understand the essentials of trusts law and should be able to:
- Identify, analyse and challenge the basis of judicial decisions and legislation on the law of trusts;
- Apply relevant principles to particular fact situations and develop creative arguments as to ways in which those principles could be applied to novel fact situations;
- Draft effective provisions of trust instruments in light of relevant principles;
- Evaluate relevant principles and analyse particular problems from a range of theoretical perspectives; and
- Utilise comparisons with other legal systems to analyse and evaluate the ways in which particular problems are addressed by the Australian law of trusts.
