Rebecca Lee on Transnational Legal Ordering of Modern Trust Law (CUP book chapter)

"Transnational Legal Ordering of Modern Trust Law"

Published online: 22 November 2023

Summary: This chapter studies transnational legal orders (TLOs) in the context of trusts and demonstrates that such ordering is evident in the processes through which modern trust norms develop and flow across borders to become a substantive body of transnational and comparative trust law. By reference to innovations and transformations in trust embraced by offshore trust jurisdictions and the rise of the civil law trust in East Asia, this chapter argues that modern trust norms produce multiplicities of legal orders that transcend both offshore and onshore jurisdictions, as well as both common law and civil law jurisdictions.
