| Further Details: | There seems to be both a judicial and academic consensus that Australian equity recognises the existence of the remedial constructive trust. There is less agreement, however, on what it means to describe a constructive trust as a remedy. Are all constructive trusts remedial? How should courts exercise their discretion to impose a constructive trust? What account should be taken of the interests of the defendant’s creditors in awarding a constructive trust? This lecture will suggest some answers to these pressing contemporary questions. |
