Constructive trusts significantly interfere with the rights of an apparent legal owner of property. This makes it necessary for their imposition to be properly explained and justified. Unfortunately, attempts to rationalise constructive trusts as a whole-as opposed to specific doctrines or particular aspects of constructive trusts-have been few and far between. Rationalising Constructive Trusts proposes a new structure for a coherent understanding of constructive trusts. By using a combination of conceptual tools, it provides answers to a number of crucial questions, for example: What are the ingredients of a constructive trust claim? What are the limits of constructive trusts? How can we rationalise the imposition of constructive trusts in particular situations? Why do judges exercise varying degrees of remedial discretion in different doctrines? From a wider perspective, the structured understanding helps us to appreciate the precise ambit and role of express, constructive, and resulting trusts

In Fiduciary Law, Tamar Frankel examines the structure, principles, themes, and objectives of fiduciary law. Fiduciaries, which include corporate managers, money managers, lawyers, and physicians among others, are entrusted with money or power. Frankel explains how fiduciary law is designed to offer protection from abuse of this method of safekeeping. Moreover, she identifies situations in which fiduciary law falls short of offering protection. Frankel discusses how failure to enforce fiduciary law can contribute to failing financial and economic systems. By analyzing current fiduciary law, Fiduciary Law can help those designing the future law and the systems that it protects.

This monograph by Irina Gvelesiani explores the origins of the common law trust through a comparative lens, integrating linguistics and legal history. The work delves into the etymology of the term 'trust' and examines historical influences from West Germanic languages and the laws of the Germanic tribes, such as the Salian Franks and Anglo-Saxons. It provides a critical analysis of existing theories regarding the emergence of the trust, highlighting its role as a legal institution and lexical unit. Aimed at linguists, legal historians, and scholars, this book serves as a supplementary resource for courses on trust law, legal linguistics, and legal history.

Doyenne des socieþteþs immobilie`res du Second Empire (anteþrieure me^me aux socieþteþs parisiennes), la Socieþteþ de la rue Impeþriale (SRI) offre la possibiliteþ de restituer plus de 150 ans de gestion immobilie`re d'un ba^ti " haussmannien " dans la principale arte`re d'une grande ville, Lyon. De sa creþation (1854) a` sa disparition (2004), la SRI n'a cesseþ de placer la gestion des immeubles au centre de ses activiteþs. Cette longeþviteþ exceptionnelle tranche avec les dureþes eþpheþme`res des socieþteþs immobilie`res neþes dans la fouleþe des politiques de grands travaux au XIXe sie`cle. Tout au long de son existence, la deþtention d'un patrimoine immobilier d'exception lui a assureþ une rente sur laquelle elle a assis son expansion. Elle bascule progressivement dans une logique financie`re a` la fin des anneþes 1960 a` la suite d'une prise de contro^le par le milieu bancaire des grosses socieþteþs immobilie`res. Le rachat de la SRI par le fonds souverain d'Abu Dhabi ache`ve le processus de financiarisation d'une des pie`ces les plus prestigieuses de l'immobilier lyonnais. Nourrie par des archives exceptionnelles, l'histoire de cette socieþteþ immobilie`re permet de retracer, dans le temps long, les transformations des espaces urbains et de mieux comprendre le ro^le du capital financier dans la production de la ville. Elle constitue de ce fait une approche originale de l'imbrication de l'eþconomique et de l'urbain. The " Socieþteþ de la rue Impeþriale " (SRI) is the oldest of the real estate companies created in the 2nd Empire. The company built, owned and managed most of the buildings along the rue de la Reþpublique in Lyon. SRI Archives tell us a 150 years long story of real estate management and investment in the center of Lyon. From 1854 to 2007, the SRI evolved in parallel with urban changes and population transformation. This longevity is unique amongst real estate companies of the 19th Century. Local shareholders ran the SRI until it fell under the control of national banking firms at the end of the.

Winner of the second SLS Peter Birks Prize for Outstanding Legal Scholarship 2010. Fiduciary Loyalty presents a comprehensive analysis of the nature and function of fiduciary duties. The concept of loyalty, which lies at the heart of fiduciary doctrine, is a form of protection which is designed to enhance the likelihood of due performance of non-fiduciary duties, by seeking to avoid influences or temptations that may distract the fiduciary from providing such proper performance. In developing this position, the book takes the novel approach of putting to one side the difficult question of
