Trust Choice of Law Rules in Asia-Pacific: Adapting to the Future

Ying Khai Lieu has an upcoming publication entitled, Trust Choice of Law Rules in Asia-Pacific: Adapting to the Future, Hart Publishing, Forthcoming. Provided below is an abstract:

This chapter addresses the question: how can Asian-Pacific jurisdictions develop their trusts choice of law rules, in order to adapt to the future increase in cross-border trusts disputes? The chapter does not provide an absolute answer, but hopes to trigger a discussion on the matter by providing two tools which may help in the journey of developing trusts choice of law rules. First, it constructs a framework by which the development of trusts choice of law rules can be addressed across the region. Secondly, it demonstrates that a proper understanding of domestic substantive express, constructive, and resulting trusts is intricately related to the development of sound trusts choice of law rules.
