Lord Walker’s analysis in Pitt v Holt in the Supreme Court accords in all essential respects with the reasons put forward in Chapter 3 to prefer a duty (‘weak’) rather than results-oriented (‘strong’) account of the Re Hastings-Bass rule, as does the approach adopted by Lloyd LJ in the Court of Appeal, which Lord Walker expressly endorses. Yet Lord Walker’s judgment does not yet provide a wholly comprehensive basis for the future development of the law. There remain a number of loose ends, arising predominantly from issues not specifically before the court in Pitt, but which have been matters of concern in earlier Re Hastings-Bass cases, including: how a ‘relevant consideration’ is defined; the significance of establishing that the trustees ‘would’ or ‘might’ have acted differently, in view of Lord Walker’s refusal to choose between these two alternatives; the specific problems arising from the use of professional advisers, and in cases concerning tax liability and pension trusts. These matters are addressed in detail in chapters 5 to 8. But in order to do this it is first necessary to clarify the juridical nature of the ‘duty of consideration’ upon which Lord Walker’s analysis depends.

This study aims to understand the contribution of Ibn 'Ashur in the development of maqāsid al-syarī‘ah. This study uses normative method. The results showed that the contribution of Ibn 'Ashur on maqāsid al-syarī‘ah is divided into three categories, namely: the establishment of the legal entity of maqāsid; the formulation of maqāsid urgency implementation; and the division of the maqāsid al-shari'a into maqāsid al-'ammah, and maqāsid al-kha̅shshah. The first is about the legality of the law of maqāsid, that Allah, as the owner of sharī'ah, is impossible to bestow sharī'ah upon humankind without being accompanied by a noble purpose and wisdom. It is implicitly described in the verses of the holy Qur'an as mentioned in Sūrah al-Dukhān, verses: 38-39, Sūrah al-Mu’minūn, verse: 115, Sūrah al-Ḥadīd verse: 25, Sūrah ‘Alī ‘Imrān verse: 19. On maqāṣid al-'ammah, Ibn 'Asyūr confirms the important position of universality in sharī’a complexity. According to him, universality is one of the unique character of Islamic Sharī'ah, which is adjustable to the the future development of the times. The concept of maqāṣid al-'āmmah is jalb al-maṣa̅liḥ, wa dar’ al-mafa̅sid and taysīr wa raf' al-ḥarj. In this regard, he formulated four epistemological framework on al-Maqasid epistemology, namely: nature, tolerance (al-ṣama̅ḥah), equation (al-musāwah), freedom (al-Hurriyyah). On Maqasid al-kha̅ṣṣah, Ibn 'Ashur implemented the principle of Maqasid al-'amma. This is stipulated in various aspects, for example in worship, human relationship (muamalat), and others.

AbstractIt is often said that English law does not impose “remedial” constructive trusts because it is manifestly inappropriate and fundamentally unjustified to impose trusts through the exercise of judicial discretion and with retrospective effect. This paper observes the definitional deficiencies in this understanding, and reanalyses constructive trusts in terms of the rights which they give effect to. This understanding reveals that English law sets its face against the exercise of discretion in relation only to some “remedial” constructive trusts and not others, and that the perceived difficulties with remedial constructive trusts are often exaggerated. It ends by noting some crucial implications of the re-analysis for the future development of the law.

The operation of restrictions on the assignment of commercial leases is examined in a number of common law jurisdictions to ascertain whether lessons can be learned to inform the future development of the law. It is concluded that while absolute restrictions have a useful role to play, there is a case for banning them in sectors of the market where tenants lack adequate legal advice. Drawing on the US experience, it is considered that qualified restrictions have little to commend them. In relation to fully qualified restrictions, it is submitted that the ‘reasonableness' standard needs to be rebalanced in favour of tenants. Even if that were to be achieved however, vulnerable tenants would still need protection from sophisticated drafting mechanisms adverse to their interests. A special statutory regime for small commercial tenants is recommended.
