Digestible Notes was created with a simple objective: to make learning simple and accessible. During the nineteenth century, the courts developed the twelve principles, or maxims, of equity, when administrating its equitable jurisdiction. notes written by Cambridge/Bpp/College Of Law students is Penner potentially edges towards the truth when he comments that the dehors the will theory is just an attempt to cloak the embarrassing jam equity has got itself into with its willingness to flout the Wills Act.[liv], Critchley unquestionably favours the fraud theory as a justification for the enforcement of secret trusts, writing that where a fully secret trustee actively seeks to deny the trust and keep the property beneficially, the fraud maxim may present a fairly good argument in favour of enforcing the informal trust, provided that the standard of conduct required to show fraud is maintained at a sufficiently high level.[lv], Conclusion: A more flexible and useful tool.. The defendant succeeded but the parties were unable to agree how to divide the land. In Kasperbauer v Griffiths (2000 WTLR 333) the England and Wales Court of Appeal had set the test as whether the testator intended a trust or 'a mere moral or family obligation'. Ultimately, it will be concluded that this theory, while still is less convincing than the equitable principle, and is perhaps an attempt by some to downplay the significant role the equitable principle plays in enforcing secret trusts. Ottoway v Norman[iii] details with the three requirements for a valid secret trust to be created. On the facts, Miss Hodge was aware of Ottoways intention and had agreed to it. An area within fully secret trusts that has sparked some debate is the time at which the trust itself actually comes into being. We believe that human potential is limitless if you're willing to put in the work. Warner-Reed however does not characterise this as equity contravening the law, but plugging the gap where the law makes no provision for a particular set of circumstances, as opposed to overriding the law as it already exists.[xlii], Warner-Reeds description of plugging the gap, although arguably somewhat linguistically blunt, is perhaps a more accurate depiction of the principles operation than the assertion than in good conscience. Good conscience implies a level of imposing morality that the court does not reach. Thus, even though the trust was communicated and agreed to before the execution of the will, the fact that it was not properly incorporated into the will meant it was void. This eBook is constructed by lawyers and recruiters from the world's leading law firms and barristers' chambers. As Hudson notes the purpose of equity is to introduce fairness in circumstances in which statute might permit unfairness[xlvi] thus is not surprising that the Courts have applied the principle to secret trusts in this way. Re Rees [1949] Ch 541 Here the CA said no in the case of a half secret trust because this would be contrary to the express provision in the will that he takes the property as a trustee. In Titcombe v Ison (ChD, 28th January 2021), unreported, the Court had to consider whether a valuable collection of jewellery was subject to a secret trust. Important distinctions: Half-Secret Trusts, In half-secret trusts the terms of the will make it clear that the legatee is to hold property on trust, but the terms of the trusts upon which he is to hold the property are not disclosed.[xxiii] They are perhaps best explained in their differences to fully secret trusts. In half secret trusts, in situations where the intended secret trustee had no knowledge of the trust they may keep the property. As previously stated, another equitable principle says equity follows the law in the event of conflict, equity may circumvent the common law but it does not seek to override it. Compare this case with Lord Browne-Wilkinson's words in Westdeutsche Landesbank v Islington [1996], Constructive trusts can arise from Mutual Wills. Second, the older case of McCormick v Grogan (1867) I LR Eq 313, (1869) LR App 82 which was a decision of the Irish Court of Appeal upheld by the House of Lords. They are often categorised amongst express trusts, while Hudson, for his part, argues they are better described as constructive trusts because they are imposed on the recipient on the testamentary gift where that person knows in good conscience that she is required to hold that property on trust for someone else. It may easier to classify them as testamentary trusts, as they arise upon the death of the testator, and are specified in the will. She took the case to the EWHC, arguing that Mr Ison now held the jewellery on a bare, or secret, trust for her.

The creation and validity of fully secret trusts. Kasperbauer v Griffith [2000] WTLR 333, where the Court of Appeal took the view (agreeing with Nourse J in Re Cleaver [1981] 1 WLR 931 at 9470 that a constructive trust would be imposed to compel a secret trustee to hold trust property as had been agreed with the testator. Secret trusts may be enforceable despite not conforming with the Wills Act. In Titcombe v Ison there was no doubt that the testator had expressed informal wishes regarding her jewellery. Secret trusts therefore arise where a testator decides to leave ostensible legacies to someone whom the testator really wants to act as trustee for an intended but undisclosed beneficiary of that legacy provided always that the obligation is a trust obligation and not merely a moral obligation: Kasperbauer v Griffith [2000] Case Details Parties Dockets. R v Griffiths [1969] 1 QB 589 Conspiracy - Knowledge of Co-Conspirators - Fraud Facts The defendant was a seller of limes who entered into a conspiracy with seven lime farmers to defraud the Ministry of Agriculture by submitting fraudulent subsidy claims. Standard of proof: onus is on the person claiming that a trust exists: standard is the normal civil standard (Re Snowden) Justification for enforcing secret trusts: 1. The second circumstance exists where the intended trustee was aware that the property was going to be left to them to hold on trust, but had no knowledge of the purpose of the trust. By applying this principle, the court can address each secret trust on its own unique facts and circumstances, and, certainly, as Watt states, in the exercise of discretion, a principle or maxim is a more flexible and useful tool than a rule.[lviii], Bannister v Bannister [1948] 2 All ER 133, Katherine, Duchess of Sufflock v Hereden [1560], Matrimonial Proceedings and Property Act 1970 s37, Hudson, A, Great Debates in Equity and Trusts (Palgrave 2014), Hudson, A, Understanding Equity & Trusts, (5th edn, Routledge 2015), Penner, J.E, The Law of Trusts (9th edn, Oxford University Press 2014), Warner-Reed, E, Equity and Trusts, (Pearson 2011), Watt, G, Todd & Watts Cases & Materials on Equity and Trusts, (9th edn, Oxford University Press 2013), Watt, G, Trusts and Equity, (4th edn, Oxford University Press 2010), Council B, Clean Hands Need Not Be Spotless (1993) 143 New Law Journal, Critchley P, Instruments of fraud, testamentary dispositions, and the doctrine of secret trusts (1993) 115 Law Quarterly Law 631, Gardner S, Two Maxims of Equity (1995) 54 (1) Cambridge Law Journal 60, Kincaid D, The tangled web: the relationship between a secret trust and the will [2000] Conveyancer and Property Lawyer 420, King L In Practice: Legal Update: Probate: Secret and half-secret trusts (2014) Law Society Gazette 27, Mee J, Half Secret trusts in England and Ireland [1992] Conveyancer and Property Lawyer 202, Thomas M, The longer you look at a [will], the more abstract it becomes construction and secret trusts: Rawstron and Pearce v Freud (2014) 1 Trust Law International 157. The solicitor did not acquire the details of the trust terms until after the testators death. A secret trust need not be set out in writing: Ottaway v Norman [1972] Ch 698. Normal requirements for testamentary trusts: must comply with s 9 Wills Act 1837, 2. The consequences are thus that the intended trustee may be allowed to keep the property in the case of full secret trusts, or that the gift will revert back to the estate. It thus follows the trust is created dehors the will and is not opposing Wills Act. There is a school of thought who argues that these trusts operate entirely outside of the will, thus there is no need to consider fraud. [xli] In this case, Ms Bannister conveyed a house to her brother in law, who then orally agreed to allow her to live in it rent free as long as she wished. Secret trusts take effect on the testators death and do not comply with the requirements of the Wills Act. Thus, despite the solicitors readiness to perform the terms of the secret trust, it failed, and it was held that he held the property on resulting trust for the estate. However, the court was not willing to disregard the importance of the will in this case; it will not contravene statutory principle in every situation, whereby the trust terms are not certain. The vendor, on conclusion of a sale, holds it on constructive trust for the purchaser. Her niece, Mrs Titcombe, brought a claim for jewellery on the basis that Mr Ison had agreed with Ms Richards that, after her death, he would give the jewellery to the claimant. Questions?

The claimant suffered respiratory arrest. The trusteeship was expressly by one, while the other remained silent and the court held that this silence amounted to acceptance. Establishing a valid fully secret trust: the three requirements. He noted that the manner in which Ms Richards' wishes had been expressed and that she had not wanted Mrs Titcombe to be the sole recipient of the jewels, suggested that she had not wanted her wishes to be sanctioned by the authority of the court. In a fully secret trust, there are two possible scenarios. The testators words were vague and only provide a moral obligation to his wife, not a legal one and the change in the will was evidence of this. However, it is not necessary the parties be beneficiairies of the other partys will or that they should leave property to the same person(s): they just need to agree where property should go, Following the death of the first party, the second party holds the property on a constructive - Olins v Walters, There must be an agreement between the parties not to revoke their wills i.e. However, in Ottaway v Norman, a fully-secret trust case an oral declaration of land was sufficient (i.e. [xxxvi] This is otherwise known as the fraud theory.. The England and Wales High Court (EWHC) has ruled that a valuable collection of jewellery was not subject to a secret trust created by their late owner in favour of her niece, even though the deceased had expressed some wishes to that effect. you don't have to be deceitful to qualify as a trustee de son tort, This is where a trustee disposes of trust property in breach of trust and someone (the defendant) dishonestly assists in that, So the defendant here has not received trust property - if he had done, that would be knowing receipt, As the defendant has no received trust property a constructive trust is not possible and only personal remedies are available, If someone receives property knowing it was conveyed in breach of trust, they be liable to return the property and they may also be personally liable to compensate for any loss caused. By way of simple explanation, both kinds of secret trust essentially involve property being left in will without actually naming the person to whom the property is being left to. This trustee was bound by the trust, while the uninformed trustee took free of the obligation. Watt notes that the secret trust would have been valid if, before he died, Boyes had placed a sealed envelope containing detailed instructions into the executors hands. Death or Disclaimer by Trustee (Blackwell v Blackwell cf Re Maddock) Where a trustee of a half-secret trust dies, the trust still subsists because In Re Snowden,[xxi] the residue of a testatrixs estate was left to her brother who she had lived for the last six months of her life. The purpose of the succession project, begun by the New Zealand Law Commission in 1993, is to develop a Succession Act to provide for all succession matters in one statute.

A Mutual Will is where two or more people agree to make wills and not to revoke those wills without mutual consent i.e. The defendants attempted a robbery with an imitation gun and a pick-axe handle. While this is the most important distinction between the two types, Viscount Sumner in Blackwell v Blackwell[xxiv] has stated that in substance there is no relevant difference between fully secret and half secret trusts because the fraud committed are the same in both situations; in both cases the testators wishes are incompletely expressed in his will. In the second scenario, wherein the legatee understood that they were never intended to keep the property, it is in the interests of their conscience to prevent them from keeping the gift. [xxviii], Watt argues that it follows from this that the risk is of fraud is much greater[xxix] in full secret trusts than in half secret trusts, and that, contrary to Viscount Sumner, in fact, on closer examination, it appears that the two types of secret trust rest on entirely different conceptual foundations.[xxx] He submits that this is down to timing of communication as illustrated by Re Bateman WT[xxxi]; a fully secret trust does not need to comply with any time restriction and can be created before or after the will, whereas a half secret must precede the execution of the will if it is to be held as valid. When Miss Hodge failed to do so, the claimant brought an action against the executors of Miss Hodges estate alleging entitlement to the property left by Ottoway.

Constructive trusts are imposed where property is gained through fraud (Rouchefoucauld v Boustead 1897), However, if there is fraudulent misrepresentation, the constructive trust will not arise unless the contract is voided: Lonrho v Al Fayed (No 2) [1991] this is because the victim of the fraud may wish to affirm the transaction despite the fraudulent misrepresentation, Also see the cases of Rochefoucauld v Boustead [1897] and Bannister v Bannister [1948], Bribes and secret comission are essentially synonymous, Any bribe taken by a fiduciary will be held on constructive trust by that fiduciary for the beneficiaries of her fiduciary office this principle has, however, been doubted in recent cases, In Lister v Stubbs, it was held that the claimant could not claim title to the property acquired by the bribes, Reading v Attorney General [1951] took a different view, where the court seemingly awareded a propriety remedy over the bribes, In Attorney General of Hong Kong v Reid [1994], the Privy Council overruled Lister v Stubbs and held that a proprietary constructive trust is imposed as soon as the bribe is accepted by its recipient, But then Sinclair Investments v Versailles Trade Finance Ltd [2011] came and cast doubt on the Reid principle the court of appeal held in this case that there should be no constructive trust as to maximise assets available to unsecured creditors, A constructive trust will be imposed in circumstances in which the claimant has refrained from exploiting some commercial opportunity in reliance on some agreement or pre-contractual understanding reached with the defendant i.e. See 1 Summary. At his ninth overall Games.

However, Hudson indicates that this decision cannot be correct in principle because the will could have been altered subsequently, thus revoking the gift.[xvii] It is suggested that this decision was in fact, in isolation and it is accepted that it is possible for the testator to later alter their will, meaning that the trust is created subsequent to death.

As articulated earlier in this piece, the difficulty faced in the creation of secret trusts that this permits this section of the Wills Act 1837 to be used as an engine of fraud against the testator as the trustee may claim the property for themselves in fully secret trusts. It is in itself a doctrine which involves a wide departure from the policy which induced the Legislature to pass the Statute of Frauds, and it is only in clear cases of fraud that this doctrine has been applied - cases in which the Court has been persuaded that there has been a fraudulent inducement held out on the part of the apparent [ix], The intention to create a trust and its terms can be communicated in writing, orally or even by an agent. But the manner in which those wishes had been expressed and the fact that Ms Richards wishes were not (as the Court found) for the Claimant to be the sole recipient of her jewellery, led to the conclusion that the answer to the question had Mrs Richards intended her wishes to be sanctioned by the authority of the court? was: no. Likewise, in Re Keen[xlv], it could be said that it would be in good conscience to uphold the trust as had been communicated and accepted, and it need not matter that the will did not refer to it.

There are no well-defined circumstances in which a court will determine a constructive trust, But there are common circumstances in which constructive trusts have been found (see below), The weak unifying factor to all circumstances in which a constructive trust arises, is usually the legal owner has conducted himself in such a way it would be unconscionable for them to maintain their property, LJ Millet: A constructive trust arises by operation of law whenever the circumstances are such that it would be unconscionable for the owner of property to assert his own beneficial interest in the property and deny the beneficial interest of another Paragon Finance v Thakerar [1999], There exists an institution/remedial dichotomy, The institutional approach limits constructive trusts to defined sets of circumstances, so limits the judges discretion in deciding when and how to adjust a persons beneficial interest, In Westdeutsche Landesbank v Islington, Lord Browne Wilkinson said an institutional constructive trust arises by operation of law as from the date of circumstances which give rise to it: the function of the court is merely to declare that such trust has arisen in the past, Most common law countries use the remedial approach (e.g. January 26, 2009.
