ABSTRACT

CONSTRUCTIVE TRUSTS THE GENERAL NATURE OF CONSTRUCTIVE TRUSTS As explained by Edmund-Davies L J in Carl Zeiss Stiftung v Smith (No 2) [1969]:

‘English law has no clear cut all embracing definition of the constructive trust . . . Its boundaries have been left perhaps deliberately vague so as not to restrict the court by technicalities in deciding what the justice of a particular case may require.’
