Résumé du livre

"In his course dedicated to common law trust and trust in the Roman-Germanic tradition, Donovan Waters, Professor at the University of Victoria, Canada, elaborates on the theory that, though the English trust and fideicommissum have much in common, they have two totally different approaches. To this purpose Professor Waters recalls of the origins and the historical development of common law trust. He then develops the theory of the modern Anglo-American trust and its applications. In the next chapter statutory and code adoptions of the trust idea are explained. In the closing chapter, Professor Waters analyses the future developments of the trust idea"--Publisher's description.
