We recognise the Re Denley type trust which has tenuous links to human beneficiaries and has thus been saved from falling foul of the beneficiary principle. Also, we have entertained the Quistclose Trust which is a further example of a trust for a purpose which is not concerned with human beneficiaries. In this latter context, however, justification for the existence of such a trust has been sought by its proponents by construing it as an orthodox example of a resulting trust. However, the recent High Court judgment in Cooper v PRG Powerhouse & Others recognises the Quistclose Trust for what it really is; a purpose trust. It’s too late now. The door is ajar.
