This fourth title in this innovative series establishes connections between jurisdictions which would not conventionally 'speak' to one another, on topics which would not otherwise have been discussed. Over four parts, it looks at questions of: trusts actors; trusts applications; trusts environments; and trusts futures. Chapters are co-written by two (or more) authors, to give a novel perspective on comparative trusts law. This approach allows for a rigorous, systematic exploration of the varied ways in which trusts law manifests across the Asia-Pacific region. An expert and welcome new addition to this leading book series in comparative private law.

How Ordinary Investors Build Extraordinary Wealth by Owning Great Companies

The Quiet Millionaires

Sharing economy promised a way of using property for the mutual benefit of owners and consumers, but in the last decade it has only worked to profit large commercial platforms. This book shows how institutions of risk management are part of this problem and offers a solution: collaborative risk structures. The book uncovers risk as the missing element in accounts of property theory and sharing economy. Drawing on diverse insights from economic theory and legal studies, it explains how property and private law form a risk management infrastructure which reinforces private property, and examines the paralysing effects this has on sharing, by constraining it to extractive market relations and stifling its collaborative potential. The book argues that overcoming these constraints is key to realising collaborative property and curbing the drawbacks of private ownership. It proposes institutional design principles and offers heuristic solutions such as radical uses of private law tools and insurance mechanisms to build a collaborative risk system capable of supporting more equitable and diversified forms of sharing.

This book presents a critical, in-depth analysis of the changes taking place in the governance of charities and charity law in Australia, New Zealand, and England. Delving into the transformative journey of charity law, the book reveals its dramatic shift from traditional private law regulation, governed by the courts and trust law, to an advanced, regulatory framework. This pivot is not just a legal transition; it reflects the core tension within charity itself - the balancing act between private initiative and public good. Featuring contributions from both renowned and up-and-coming international charity law scholars, this book stands out for its comprehensive coverage. Each chapter delves into the nuanced, complex issues arising from the modernisation of charity law, providing a rich, insightful exploration of the concept of 'charity' as it straddles the realms of legal theory and state-regulated practice.
