開曼群島大法院就信託保護人的角色問題發布了一項重要裁決,即受託人只有在獲得保護人同意的情況下才能行使權力。法院的判決支持這樣的觀點,即仔細起草信託契約可以解決保護人的角色是否僅僅是確保受託人的決定有效,或者是否包含更廣泛的決策自由裁量權的問題。在該案(B信託問題--決策原因,2024 CIFSd 70)中,受託人提議將資產指定給新信託並免除管理委員會。
CAYMAN ISLANDS: Trusts judgment casts light on protector's powers of consent
The Grand Court of the Cayman Islands has issued an important ruling on the issue of a trust protector's role where trustees can only exercise a power with the protector's consent. The court's decision supports the view that careful drafting in the trust deed can address the question of whether a protector's role is merely to ensure that a trustee's decision is valid or if it includes a wider decision-making discretion. In the case (In the Matter of B Trust - Reasons for Decision, 2024 CIFSd 70) the trustees proposed to appoint assets to a new trust and dispense with the management committee.
