Trustee Discretion and the Court: In the Matter of HHH Trust

The Royal Court of Jersey has recently refused an application by a beneficiary of a discretionary trust, who challenged the amount of costs and expenses agreed between the settlor and trustee pursuant to an earlier court order: In the Matter of HHH Trust, [2015] JRC 193.

This case highlights the autonomy of trustees in exercising their discretionary powers under a trust deed where done so reasonably and underlines the limits of the Court's engagement in such matters.
