Bajul Shah and Edward Cumming of XXIV Old Buildings will be speaking with Peter Steen of Mischon de Reya on the following topic:

Exposed! Trust Service Providers’ Liability for Breaches of Trust

• Can disgruntled beneficiaries reach through the trust and sue the trust service providers when things go wrong?
• Can trust service providers minimise that risk?
• How?

Adam Cloherty of XXIV Old Buildings will be speaking with Nicola Saccardo of Maisto E Associati and Philippe Pulfer of Walderwyss on:

Is Hague Proving Harmonious?

• 30 years on from its introduction in the UK, and a decade after its ratification in Switzerland, what has the Hague Convention achieved from common law and civil perspectives and what questions remain?
• Whose law is it anyway? How do recent decisions, such as Akers v Samba (Supreme Court) and Joint Administrators of Rangers FC, Noters (Court of Session), deal with trusts of foreign assets and other contentious issues?
• Has Hague harmonised? Are contracting states’ courts speaking with one voice? And does it matter?
