ABSTRACT
The administrative unworkability of a trust is a concept that is more often considered by undergraduate law students than by the courts. Although its existence is well known, the confines of the doctrine and the consequences of its application are not entirely clear. In Jennings v Appleby, the fact that the class of discretionary beneficiaries had potentially grown to more than one million gave the court a rare opportunity to revisit some of these issues.
