Description
Cy Pres Schemes – a Practical Guide
Mr Robert Whiteford TEP, Barrister, QLD Bar
Robert was admitted to practice as a barrister in 1979. He specialises in Trusts, Wills and Estates and is a leading practitioner in those fields. He has appeared in many significant cases in these areas of law.
A practical session: what is it? Why is it needed? Difference between initial impossibility and supervening impossibility; “once in charity always in charity”; what evidence do you need to gather for an cy pres application when there has been an initial failure? A supervening failure? What court documents do you file? When to get the Attorney-General involved – and how do you do that?
