Taiya and Simone are the co-trustees of a trust deed set up by Andrew’s father. As co-trustees, they must act unanimously. Under the trust, they are to hold the property for Taiya and Andrew for life, and on their death for their three children absolutely. Taiya is also a beneficiary under the trust. As trustees, Taiya and Simone are fiduciaries and therefore are subjected to the conflicts and profits rules (Keech; Chan)

Bea may argue that there is breach of the duty to act personally. As an extension of the duty to act personally, the trustees must not act under dictation of the beneficiary (Re Brockbank) and must make decisions personally. On the facts, it may be argued that the co-trustees was acting under the dictation of Andrew as he believed that mobile phones triggered cancer and wanted the shares to be removed from the portfolio. That facts state that the phone share were performing well so it seems unbeneficial to sell. It is unlikely that the $15,000 to purchase shares in the new Australian bank constitutes any breach without further information.

A director commits an offence if they are reckless or intentionally dishonest, and fail to exercise their powers and discharge their duties in good faith in the best interests of the corporation or for a proper purpose .As mentioned earlier Mr Palmer was reckless in decision making by waving loans and using the company assets for private benefits and the company suffered had to go in voluntary administration.

A person feels cultural conflict when they experience something different that doesn’t fit their cultural identity. In the news article by Hannah Allam and Javaria Khan, they discuss the conflict produced when radical muslims carry out a terrorists attack, it makes others believe all muslims are radicalists. The muslims that aren’t radicalist are embarrassed of their religion and scared to wear their headscarves. The muslims are also often victims of hate crimes because they are presumed to be terrorists, “some people around the world expressed hatred toward Muslims, frightening Muslims in the United States.” Non radicalist are upset with “militants who distort mainstream Islamic teachings to justify heinous acts.” In the essay, “By Any Other

As is required by Daniels, the directors should be familiar with the current unsatisfactory financial status and entering into such transaction could deteriorate the company’s status even further. Under s180, a reasonable director wouldn’t lend a low-rate unsecured loan to a non-related business. Overall, the directors have breached the duty of care for Winanga. They may also owe fiduciary duties to James and Diana if they are in a position of particular advantage.

This contact is not binding on the Oxy Corporation because the contract was not approved with the consent of the minority stockholder. Based on these terms and agreements Wick should have not took an active part as a board member in the vote for his company to obtain the construction contract for the Oxy Corporation because of conflict of interest with his own company. The contract was approved on a three-to-two vote with Wick voting with the majority and Wick did inform two of the other directors of his interest in the construction company. As a board member, his responsibility should be to exercise the power for a proper purpose and not look to divert an investment opportunity to his own company. Thus, his actions along with the non-minority
Though Bob and Ann are going to provide lump sum gifts of $1,000,000 to each of their children and grandchildren, it would behoove them to reconsider and plan a more effective solution than the gifts being taxed immediately at disbursement if they choose to sell the investment gifts. Presuming that the common stocks are paying out regular dividends the beneficiaries would find more value in receiving their inheritance in stages and retaining the stock to avoid possible capital gains tax. Therefore, individual trusts for each may
The following is a case study of Blackwell v Blackwell, that is connected to the principle of Secret Trusts and particularly Half Secret Trusts. In order for the principle to be understood, it is significant to expatiate on what secret trusts are and the several laws revolving around them. In general terms, a secret trust arises where a testator, A, tells B that he is leaving property to B on his death, and that he wishes B to hold it on trust for C, even though no trust for C has been set out in any formal will executed by A. If B agrees, when the property passes to B on A's death, the court will enforce the secret trust despite its informality and require B to hold the property for C. In secret trusts, two different types are recognised by the courts, one where the trustee and the terms of the trust are not mentioned in the will, this is a fully secret trust while a half secret trust is subject to a trust obligation which is apparent on the face of the Will, but the terms of the trust and the identity of the beneficiary are not disclosed. The trustee is not in position to deny the trust and can not fraudulently take the property because he is a trustee for someone. Equity will not allow him take the property beneficially. The major difference between both is the extent in which disclosure is made as to the recipient of the gift intends to take the property as a trustee rather than for himself. Secret Trusts can also arise where there is no will, it may be in a case of
In contrast, the NZSC in Chrinside v Fay [2006] unanimously held the parties in a joint venture owed each other fiduciary duties. A joint venture with a view of sharing the profit is inherently fiduciary per Elias CJ. Further, when a joint venture had sufficiently advanced beyond mere discussion of possibilities to making plan, costing and implementing, it does amount to a relationship of fiduciary per Gault J. Moreover, most joint venture relationships can properly be regarded as being inherently fiduciary because of the analogy with partnerships per Tipping and Blanchard JJ. The key point is whether the relationship entitled one party to repose trust and confidence in the other party.
When two people meet get married, all they want is success from it. Shakespeare’s play Twelfth Night shows us two different relations: Olivia-Orsino and Viola-Orsion. Both relations aren’t perfect, there are many lies, secrets and hidden feelings in both, but Shakespeare shows his audience what is needed for a marriage to be successful and last forever. By looking at the play, if Orsion were to get married to Viola or Olivia, his marriage with Viola would most likely succeed than with Olivia because even though Viola and Orsion keep secrets and deceit, they still trust each other, have a unique friendship and love one another.
The evolutionistic theory refers to the biological concept of progress and development. The theory states that organisms were meant to increase in complexity, and later on included cultural and social evolution by comparing primitive tribal groups to modern society, and studying how certain aspects in the tribal groups were repeated all over the continent. Edward B. Tylor and Lewis H. Morgan brought the term "evolution" to anthropology, which makes them crucial to the growth and improvement of anthropology.
John faced some ethical issues from the start of the case. He was asked to leave Marell and Pew and join Buss Steins (BS) brokerage firm. He was worried about the non-compete form that he had signed and thought that he could not leave the company but he was advised by the other brokers that it was a common practice and he could leave if he wanted. He did eventually join Buss Steins (BS) as a broker but this was an ethical dilemma that he faced. When John worked at Marell and Pew he learnt some tricks from his supervisor which were not illegal but can be considered shady to the least. John was fully indulged in these tricks of the trade but these tricks can also be a part of his ethical issues because he was
