Abstract/Summary

Argues the rule in Saunders v Vautier (allowing trust assets to be taken in disregard of trust terms) cannot be explained – as it usually is – as a right derived from equitable beneficial ‘ownership’: because such ownership is absent in many cases where the power is exercisable. And argues that the courts have a discretion to refuse Saunders v Vautier applications.
