Trusts law is thriving and has a formidable presence in Asia-Pacific. However, relatively little is known about its use and development in the region. Drawing on the Asia-Pacific Trusts Law project and book series, this seminar will reflect on some unique lessons that the region can offer to trusts law scholarship and practice. They will include reflections on: the state of trusts law in the region; the nature of the trust and its effect on transplantation; the functions of the trust; constructive trusts; and choice of law rules for trusts.
