Course Aims

This course deals with topics concerning trusts that arise out of the operation of law as opposed to those express trusts being taught in Semester A. These trusts include resulting trusts, constructive trusts (selective CTs) or statutory trusts. They arise as ancillary to the common law in filling the gap in the title so to offer a coherency in the transfer of ownership i.e vendor-purchase CT, or CICT or resulting trust as to the purchase resulting trusts.

This course –
