Function of Trust (Fungování trustu)

The international conference will build on the conference held in 2013, which inquired into the main categories of trust newly codified in the Czech Republic in the form of fiduciary fund. Our long-term project on trust continues with this conference on Functioning of Trust from a Comparative Perspective, which will look into the functioning of trust in depth. We will focus on four fundamental areas: asset of trust, control mechanisms of trust, corporate governance issues in relation to trustee, and finally the issues of trust in the context of international private law and recognition of a foreign trust.

The speakers at the conference come from traditional trust jurisdictions, as well as from the mixed jurisdiction of the Canadian province of Québec, whose Civil Code was the main source of inspiration for the Czech legislator, and from the continental jurisdictions, which have adopted either the institute of trust or a similar form of asset management into their legal system.

Open to public. There is no conference fee.
