Disclosure of information by beneficiaries

and the Court's jurisdiction to give directions
Representation re the E Settlement [2010] JRC 85, 4 May 2010
Commissioner Clyde-Smith, Jurats Clapham and Liddiard

In this case the Court gave directions under Article 51 of the Trusts
(Jersey) Law 1984 (the equivalent provision in Guernsey is section 69 of
the Trusts (Guernsey) Law 2007) that a beneficiary disclose information to
a trustee. This note looks at the circumstances in which the Court came
to give such directions, and identifies an alternative basis on which the
Court could have made the same orders.
