From the Foreword by
Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Dr. Syed Hamid Syed Jaafar Albar

The law of equity and trusts is fascinating just as it is complex. A necessary subject in the study of law, it has to be mastered by students just as it is often applied by practitioners. This book comprehensively covers this very wide subject through 27 instructive chapters. Authored by writers drawn from academia and legal practice, the book seeks to provide a clear exposition of the law of equity and trusts as it applies in Malaysia. The chapters have been carefully structured to cover the law of equity followed by the law of trusts. Tracking closely the course outline adopted in most Malaysian universities, this book will be the main go-to text for all students.

While a large part of equity and trusts is drawn from English common law, this book has given serious focus on Malaysian cases which have applied the principles or developed them for local application. Relevant statutory provisions are analysed and discussed to give this book a distinctly Malaysian flavour. The legal principles are clearly explained and analysed, supported by rich citation of authorities. Foreign authorities are appropriately cited to provide the foundational principles or where there is a lack of local sources.

In addition to the core topics of equity and trusts, this book also contains coverage of topics like maxims of equity, injunctions, specific performance, remedies, equity in Islamic jurisprudence, equity in international law, trusts for commercial purposes, Islamic perspective of trust as well as variation and extinction of trusts. A detailed and illuminating chapter is devoted to the appointment, duties and powers of trustees.

An impressive, combined effort by subject matter experts, this publication is an all-encompassing book on equity and trusts with reference to the law and practice in Malaysia which will well serve the respective needs of students and practitioners.

Since the publication of the second edition in 2012 there have been a number of changes to trusts legislation in both Jersey and Guernsey. Key changes relevant to those drafting trust documents for use in both jurisdictions include: An amendment to the Trusts (Jersey) Law 1984 in 2018 Clarified the rules that may be contained in a trust instrument concerning the disclosure or information or documents concerning a trust to beneficiaries and other persons. Widened the statutory provisions concerning the accumulation of income to capital by providing that where income is not distributed, and no trust to accumulate it or power to accumulate it to capital or retain it as income applies, the income retains its character as income. This part of the amendment also confirmed that there is no time period within which a power to accumulate income must be exercised. Clarified the statutory provision concerning the reasonable security to which a trustee is entitled on retirement or distribution of trust assets or the termination of the trust where such reasonable security is provided by an indemnity. It is now clear that the “protection” of such an indemnity may now extend to, among others, officers and employees of a corporate trustee and their heirs and successors, and persons may enforce the indemnity whether or not they were parties to the original document by which the indemnity was created. Since the last edition of this book, Guernsey and Jersey have both changed their laws to permit same sex marriages, Guernsey in 2017 and Jersey in 2018. Another significant law change in both Islands since the last edition concerns capacity. The Capacity and Self-Determination (Jersey) Law 2016 came into force on 1 October 2018, replacing the previous curatorship regime and established for the first time the right of a Jersey resident to plan for the risk of future mental incapacity by enabling them to granting lasting powers of attorney for health and welfare on the one hand and for property and financial affairs on the other. Guernsey introduced lasting powers of attorney in 2022. This third Edition also draws on changes to legislation and case law in other jurisdictions which may be of relevance in Jersey or Guernsey in the future.
