Book Review On Trusts and Shared Property

Seow Colin (National University of Singapore) recently published his book review entitled, Book Review: Trusts and Shared Property; Trusts, and Credit Security Trading by Tey Tsun Hang, Singapore Journal of Legal Studies, p. 592 (Dec. 2011). The abstract available on SSRN is below:

Equity, through the mechanism of the trust, may generally be thought to encompass a dualistic approach capable of resolving non-commercial shared property disputes through the use of either the resulting trust or the common intention constructive trust as alternative vehicles of remedy. In this monograph, the author addresses head-on this dualistic characteristic of equity-in-action by offering a broad-picture critique of the law in an effort to convince readers that the common intention constructive trust should prevail over the resulting trust as the preferred analytical vehicle whenever equity intervenes to resolve shared property disputes in non-commercial contexts.
