Abstract

Whilst the parallels between ancient Roman fideicommissa and English trusts are well-documented, the author argues that insufficient attention has been given to their fundamental differences. This is particularly evident in the different methodologies employed by each system to protect endowments from potential attack by impatient beneficiaries. Accordingly, this article explores how English jurisprudence relied upon conditional terms—possibly informed by ancient Greek and Neoplatonic scholarship—to achieve defensibility and security for English trusts in ways that differ significantly from the Roman scheme. By doing so, this article raises important new questions about how English law has placed boundaries upon valid conditionality.
可辩护的禀赋:比较英国和古罗马法的不同方法
虽然古罗马信托法和英国信托法之间的相似之处有据可查,但作者认为,人们对它们的根本区别关注不足。这一点在每个系统为保护捐赠基金免受不耐烦的受益人的潜在攻击而采用的不同方法中尤为明显。因此,本文探讨了英国法理学如何依赖于条件条款——可能受到古希腊和新柏拉图主义学术的影响——以与罗马方案明显不同的方式实现英国信托的可防御性和安全性。通过这样做,本文提出了关于英国法律如何在有效条件上设置边界的重要新问题。
