Trust law is largely derived from the common law.  For this reason it is particularly important to keep abreast with new trust cases.  Historically this task was simple as decisions were few and far between.

However, over recent years the number of trust cases has increased significantly.  The sources of cases are many and varied and are not limited to New Zealand.  The pages under this page contain overviews of trust cases that have relevance to all areas of trust law.
