#SerleShare – Creditor v beneficiary: enforcement actions against interests under Jersey trusts

A recent judgment of the Royal Court of Jersey in Kea Investments Ltd v Watson and others [2021] JRC 009 confirmed that interests under Jersey discretionary trusts are not amenable to enforcement action by a beneficiary’s creditors notwithstanding the language of the Trusts (Jersey) Law 1984.  Kathryn Purkis, who appeared as Advocate in the Royal Court on the application, summarises the issues in Serle Court’s latest Private Client / Offshore #SerleShare.

Elizabeth Jones QC and Kathryn Purkis are instructed by Farrer & Co on behalf of Kea Investments with Collas Crill (Jersey) also acting.
