The rule in Saunders v Vautier and its recent application under Jersey Law

摘要

As a judgment of the English court, the decision in Saunders v Vautier has no direct application under Jersey law. The Island has however been influenced by English law, particularly in the evolution of its trusts law, and judgments of the English courts in this area are persuasive authority in the Jersey courts. There have been a number of recent Jersey cases dealing with the rule in Saunders v Vautier and this case note looks, in particular, at the Mubarak and Turino decisions and the implications of both.
