War on Trusts III: The search for purpose – on-demand recording

This session was recorded on 28 August 2025 as part of the Specialist Accreditation Conference 2025.

Discretionary trust deeds often give trustees broad powers to distribute income and capital. Other trust deeds give fixed interests, life interests and remainder interests. The basic obligations of a trustee are to administer the trust in accordance with its terms, and to exercise discretions after due consideration, in good faith and in accordance with the purposes for which the discretions were conferred and not for some other purposes. In this session Craig Birtles will consider how to ascertain the purposes of a trust and trust powers, their relevance to removal of trustee (or breach of fiduciary duty) claims such as in Re Owies v JJE Nominees Pty Ltd [2022] VSCA 142, and the relatively new power in s 86A Trustee Act 1925 (NSW) for the Court to approve variation of trusts.
