Research output: Contribution to specialist publication or newspaper › Article

Abstract

Discusses the requirement of a fiduciary relationship in equitable tracing claims, arguing that imposing a constructive trust on a wrongdoer who misappropriates a stranger's funds and pays them into a mixed bank account could provide an alternative basis for establishing an equitable proprietary right for the tracing claimant. Refers to relevant case law.
