Basic Issues of Private Law Codification in Europe: Trust

Ugo Mattei, Hastings College of the Law; Univ. of Turin, Italy

A GJ Frontiers article.

Abstract

In this paper I approach trust law from the perspective of the European legal system considering whether or not to codify this area of the law. My hope is that this practical focus can bring some better understanding of the nature of trust law. I try moreover to move a step forward in tackling some of the basic questions that should be on the agenda of European private law today.
