This three-hour seminar will consider the management duties, powers and liability of trustees. The traditional management duties and consequent powers will be discussed and possible liability for failing to perform these duties, breaching any applicable duty of care and/or acting in excess of powers.

- The nature of trusteeship
- Becoming a trustee (and perhaps not knowing that you are)

- The powers of trustees
- Acting outside trustee powers
- The duty of care
- Breach of duty of care
- Remedies for breach of trustee’s duties
- Defences that may be available to trustees
