Charitable Trusts Third Edition

Excerpt from The Law of Charities and Mortmain: Being a Third Edition of Tudor's Charitable Trusts In dealing with the statutory portions of the law, we have adopted the plan of printing the Acts in full, and of treating the cases bearing upon and the questions arising in respect of them, in notes to the various sections. Part II. Of the book contains the Mortmain and Charitable Uses Act, 1888, and Part III. All the Acts and portions of Acts relating to the Charity Commission. Each of these parts is preceded by a historical introduction. Some miscellaneous Acts, bearing more or less directly on the main subject, are printed in Appendix I. In the notes to the Acts comprised in Part III. Special attention has been directed to the practice of the Charity Commissioners, in the hope that the work may prove useful to Charity Trustees and others having dealings with the Commission. With this view, also, all the forms now in use at the Charity Commission are inserted in Appendix II., with a selection of schemes. Reports of two cases, hitherto unreported, are printed in Appendix III. The same Appendix also contains two notes, one on the meaning of inhabitants and parishioners, the other on directory powers. These are matters which are not sufficiently connected with the law of charities to permit of their being inserted in the text of the work, and they are dealt with at too great length to allow of their insertion as foot-notes. The Table of Cases contains references to all the Reports. Many Irish cases, and some Scotch, are included. It only remains for us to record our gratitude to Sir Henry Longley, Chief Charity Commissioner, to Mr. C. Archer Cook, Assistant Commissioner, and to Mr. Henry Vane and others on the staff of the Charity Commission, for assistance of inestimable benefit to us, most kindly and patiently rendered.

Excerpt from The Charitable Trusts Acts, 1853 to 1894: Analytically Arranged Of this Condition of the Charitable Trusts Acts proof is furnished by the numerous cross references appended to the recent collective edition of the Charitable Trusts Acts, as well as by Similar references appended to those Acts, as comprised in the 3rd edition of Tudor's Law of Charitable Trusts, pp. 466 - 566. The following pages are the result of an attempt to dispense with the laborious and somewhat hazardous process of cross reference by bringing together, as closely as may be, the several provisions of the Acts, which deal with the same heads of jurisdiction.

The law of trusts is a subject of considerable importance in the Commonwealth Caribbean. Traditional areas, such as testamentary trusts, resulting and constructive trusts, and charitable trusts, are now fully incorporated into the mainstream substantive law of the region, while the principles associated with offshore trust regimes are constantly expanding and developing. This book has been updated to reflect new case law and legislation, and to highlight recent trends relating to both traditional and offshore trusts.

Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop was the largest landowner and richest woman in the Hawaiian kingdom. Upon her death in 1884, she entrusted her property--"known as Bishop Estate--"to five trustees in order to create and maintain an institution that would benefit the children of Hawai'i: Kamehameha Schools. A century later, Bishop Estate controlled nearly one out of every nine acres in the state, a concentration of private land ownership rarely seen anywhere in the world. Then in August 1997 the unthinkable happened: Four revered kupuna (native Hawaiian elders) and a professor of trust-law publicly charged Bishop Estate trustees with gross incompetence and massive trust abuse. Entitled "Broken Trust," the statement provided devastating details of rigged appointments, violated trusts, cynical manipulation of the trust's beneficiaries, and the shameful involvement of many of Hawai'i's powerful. No one is better qualified to examine the events and personalities surrounding the scandal than two of the original "Broken Trust" authors.Their comprehensive account together with historical background, brings to light information that has never before been made public, including accounts of secret meetings and communications involving Supreme Court justices.
