EQUITY AND TRUST 2 UEQ3622

TUTORIAL 4

1. A trustee may engage somebody else to replace him and carry out his duties
temporarily. Explain this by reference to statutory provision and further explain the
procedure involved.

2. Ted is the sole trustee of an exhaustive discretionary trust of income. The objects of
which are the nephews and the nieces of Sarah. Sarah has two nephews, Darren and
Tim and one niece, Rene.

10 months ago, Ted lent Darren the sum of RM20,000 out of his (Ted’s) own money. Tim
and Rene have now learned that Ted has decided to pay the entire income of trust for
the present year, some RM15,000 to Darren. Tim and Rene claimed that Ted exercised
his discretion under the trust in Darren’s favour only in order to allow Darren to have
sufficient funds to repay the loan from Ted. Rene and Tim wish to have the proposed
exercise of the discretion prevented, and further wish to compel Ted to distribute the
income for the present year among all three objects equally.
