Re Barlow's Will Trusts
''Re Barlow's Will Trusts'' 9791 WLR 278 is an English trusts law case, concerning certainty of the words "family" and "friends" in a will. Facts Miss Helen Alice Dorothy Barlow, the testatrix had a large collection of pictures. She specifically bequeathed some. For the remainder, she declared them to be held by her executor on trust to sell them, but that her ‘family and friends’ could buy them first at 1970 valuations or at the probate value, whichever was lower. The proceeds would go to the residuary estate. The executors asked the court whether the direction about family and friends was void, given its uncertainty, and if it was valid, who the family and friends were. Judgment Browne-Wilkinson J held that the trust was valid, because both concepts of friends and family could be given a workable meaning. Although ‘friend’ could have a wide variety of meaning, the minimum requirements were that (a) the relationship had to be long standing (b) be a social and not a bu ...

English Trusts Law
English trust law concerns the protection of assets, usually when they are held by one party for another's benefit. Trusts were a creation of the English law of property and obligations, and share a subsequent history with countries across the Commonwealth and the United States. Trusts developed when claimants in property disputes were dissatisfied with the common law courts and petitioned the King for a just and equitable result. On the King's behalf, the Lord Chancellor developed a parallel justice system in the Court of Chancery, commonly referred as equity. Historically, trusts have mostly been used where people have left money in a will, or created family settlements, charities, or some types of business venture. After the Judicature Act 1873, England's courts of equity and common law were merged, and equitable principles took precedence. Today, trusts play an important role in financial investment, especially in unit trusts and in pension trusts (where trustees and fun ...

In Re Gulbenkian's Settlements
''Re Gulbenkian’s Settlements Trusts'' 968 is an English trusts law case, concerning the certainty of trusts. It held that while the 'is or is not' test was suitable for mere powers, the complete list test remained the appropriate test for discretionary trusts. It was only a year later in ''McPhail v Doulton'' that the 'is or is not' test was considered appropriate for discretionary trusts by a different panel of their lordships. Facts Calouste Gulbenkian, a wealthy Armenian oil businessman and co-founder of the Iraq Petroleum Company, made a settlement in 1929 that said the trustees should ‘in their absolute discretion’ and while his son Nubar Gulbenkian was still alive, give trust property to 'Nubar Sarkis Gulbenkian and any wife and his children or remoter issue for the time being in existence whether minors or adults and any person or persons in whose house or apartments or in whose company or under whose care or control or by or with whom the said Nubar Sarkis Gulbenki ...

In Re Baden's Deed Trusts
is an English trusts law case, concerning the circumstances under which a trust will be held to be uncertain. It followed on from ''McPhail v Doulton'', where the House of Lords affirmed that upholding the settlor's intentions was of paramount importance. It dealt with the same facts as ''McPhail v Doulton,'' since the Lords had remanded the case to the Court of Appeal to be decided using the legal principles set out in ''McPhail''. Facts Mr Bertram Baden settled a trust for the employees, relatives and dependants of his company, Matthew Hall & Co Ltd. It said the net income of the trust fund should be applied by the trustees ‘in their absolute discretion’ and as they thought fit for the employees, relatives and dependants in grants. The House of Lords in ''McPhail v Doulton'' held that the trust would in principle be valid if it could be said with certainty that a hypothetical claimant "is or is not" within the class of beneficiaries. The case returned to the lower courts t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

In Re Tuck's Settlements Trusts
is a leading English trusts law case, concerning the certainty of trusts. Facts Sir Adolph Tuck, a baronet who had run the art publisher Raphael Tuck & Sons, created a trust for future baronets who were married to a wife 'of Jewish blood' and who 'continues to worship according to the Jewish faith'. If in doubt, 'the decision of the Chief Rabbi in London of either the Portuguese or Anglo German Community… shall be conclusive'. It was contended that the concepts of being of Jewish faith and of Jewish blood were too uncertain for the trust to be valid. Judgment Lord Denning MR held the trust was valid, and the Chief Rabbi could resolve any uncertainty. The trust, however, would have been valid even if the Chief Rabbi had not been identified. Lord Russell of Killowen agreed with Lord Denning MR, concluding with the following.978Ch 49, 65 Eveleigh LJ said the trust was valid, but only because the Chief Rabbi’s opinion of who was Jewish was part of the definition of t ...

World War I
World War I (28 July 1914 11 November 1918), often abbreviated as WWI, was one of the deadliest global conflicts in history. Belligerents included much of Europe, the Russian Empire, the United States, and the Ottoman Empire, with fighting occurring throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Pacific, and parts of Asia. An estimated 9 million soldiers were killed in combat, plus another 23 million wounded, while 5 million civilians died as a result of military action, hunger, and disease. Millions more died in genocides within the Ottoman Empire and in the 1918 influenza pandemic, which was exacerbated by the movement of combatants during the war.
