Alec Morris, ‘Bare trusts and private purpose powers’

ABSTRACT
Private purpose powers are crucial to the functioning of non-charitable unincorporated associations and Quistclose trusts – both of which concern bare trusts. However, a sufficient understanding of what a bare trust is, as well as overreaching, reveals a fundamental problem: explaining how these powers overreach the equitable interests. They can do so, it is argued, when characterised as the Trustee Act 1925 s 32 power of advancement.
