Litigating Constructive Trusts By Paul Golden Unlike traditional express trusts that are planned well in advance with all parties involved agreeing to roles as trustee and beneficiary, a constructive trust is one created solely by a judge as a distinct remedy - powerful, nuanced, and often complex and daunting. Whether you are litigating in their favor or defending in such a case, this book is an essential guide on the topic, covering crucial considerations a practitioner will need to know including strategies for handling pleadings, discovery, motion practice, and trials. https://lnkd.in/gV3n7JB9 #RPTElaw #trustsandestates #trustee #beneficiary #constructivetrusts #legalguide

A summary judgment can be used in all cases; however, a court does not conduct a mini trial so, it is not suitable for complex legal or factual issues that need to be investigated. As part of our Ellisons Litigation Info Drop series, Commercial Litigation Solicitor, Catherine Duggan, outlines the positives and negatives of summary judgment - https://lnkd.in/e_kDVeph #CommercialLitigation #CivilClaim
