This volume explores how the private law concepts of trust and patrimony interact in various jurisdictions, with a view to advancing the understanding of the trust as a fundamental legal concept. It comprises new and previously published papers written by distinguished comparative law scholars. The authors investigate whether the common law trust could be understood as a civil law patrimony by appropriation, and whether civil law and mixed traditions could create local versions of the common law trust using patrimony as the main conceptual building block.

Mit dem Inkrafttreten des Trustgesetzes im Jahr 2001 hat der Trust, eine der ureigensten Institutionen des Law, Eingang in das chinesische Zivilrecht gefunden. Der vorliegende Band stellt die Geschichte und die gesetzlichen Grundlagen des chinesischen Trust vor und untersucht dessen Regelungen unter Berücksichtigung des englischen Trustrechts und des Rechts der deutschen Verwaltungstreuhand. Die Arbeit geht dabei insbesondere der Frage nach, welche rechtsdogmatischen und kulturellen Gesichtspunkte den chinesischen Gesetzgeber bei der Rezeption des Trust geleitet haben.

The reception of the trust in civil law jurisdictions has generated considerable conceptual debate internationally and in East Asia. In Trust Law in Asian Civil Law Jurisdictions, the authors: • Provide a detailed comparative examination of trust laws in Asian civil law jurisdictions from both operational and theoretical perspectives • Discuss the reception of the trust laws in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and China and the challenges facing them • Engage in in-depth comparative inquiries as to how these Asian legal systems resolve questions pertaining to the trust • Evaluate the distinctive features of Asian trusts and how they are moulded to suit the civilian legal frameworks within which they are situated. The analysis intersects with the Trento trust project in Europe, but also differs from it by providing valuable perspectives of the 'Asian' approaches to trust researchers in Asia and the Anglophone world at large.
