Contentious trusts newsletter – October 2018

Despite summer traditionally being a quiet time for the courts, some important decisions for trustees have been handed down over the last couple of months, including the very high profile Jersey insolvent trust case in which Taylor Wessing represented the former trustee. In that case, we sought an order that a former trustee should get priority in enforcing its trustee indemnity against an insolvent trust's assets ahead of the existing trustee's indemnity. In this edition of the newsletter, we provide an analysis of that judgment together with our usual case summaries.
