Equitable ownership, butter and donkeys: Setting out a vision for the future of the Hague Trust Convention

Abstract

This article builds on the author’s closing remarks at a symposium organised by the Hague Conference on Private International Law on the future of the Hague Trust Convention (HCCH) and other issues of Digital, Commercial and Financial Law (CODIFI Conference).¹ The author was asked to ‘set out a vision for the future of the Hague Trust Convention, with particular focus on how the Convention has impacted non-Contracting Parties and how their interest in the Convention can be developed’. To do this, the author dusted off the dictionary and has come up with a few action points.
