About the speaker:
Robert Chambers is Professor of Property Law at UCL since September 2008. He was a Barrister and Solicitor in Alberta before obtaining a DPhil at the University of Oxford under the supervision of Professor Peter Birks. Since then, he has been Senior Lecturer at the University of Melbourne, Professor at the University of Alberta, and Professor of Law at King's College London. He has also had visiting lectureships at Niigata University in Japan and the University of Auckland. He is Deputy Chief Examiner in the Law of Trusts for the University of London External LLB, a member of the editorial boards for the Journal of Equity and Trusts Law International, and a regional editor for the Restitution Law Review.


About the lecture: 
 
This lecture deals with the objections raised to the use of the trust as a remedy in commercial contexts, including cases of restitution of unjust enrichment and cases of specific performance of land contracts. There are two sorts of objections: either that the claimant should not have an equitable interest in assets in the defendant's hands, or that the claimant's interest should not be regarded as a trust. Both were raised by Lord Browne-Wilkinson in Westdeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale v Islington LBC [1996] AC 669. Particular aspects of the trustee-beneficiary relationship will be examined and it will be argued that many apply only to typical express trusts. By isolating those aspects of the relationship that can apply to constructive and resulting trusts, we can properly evaluate the objections to the use of those trusts.
