ABSTRACT

In this chapter, the types and characteristics of implied trusts are addressed. Accordingly, as you read, you should look out for the following issues:

 What implied trusts are;

 The resulting trust: the occasions on which this type of trust can arise, how it operates and what its effect is; and

 The constructive trust: again, when it arises, its effects and the issue of whether it can be taken forward outside its traditional remit into some sort of general remedial device.
