ABSTRACT

The question is then as to the nature of documents which can properly be described as ‘trust documents’. The contents of that category have been found to be incapable of precise definition (Re Londonderry (1965)). This obligation to provide information (albeit of limited types) is an important part of the control of the conscience of the trustee by the court and by the beneficiaries. Without such information it would be impossible in many circumstances to commence the type of litigation dealt with in Chapter 10.
