The author explains the impact of Covid-19 on the work of foundations and the role of the latter in addressing global challenges. Foundations that are set up in perpetuity are often deemed slow and dilatory when it comes to taking decisions. Covid-19, however, demands fast, not to say unbureaucratic action. This is often contrary to the character of foundations and the way in which many of them pursue their programmatic goals. Foundations, therefore, risk falling short of their social mission and even missing the opportunity to offer society pioneering solutions. Yet, the current crisis has also underlined the importance of strategic partnerships between foundations and other players and of involving local people in bringing about social change. This being said, by their very nature, foundations are eminently predisposed to provide sustainable relief in crises such as Covid-19 and to mitigate long-term societal impact.","PeriodicalId":43396,"journal":{"name":"Trusts & Trustees","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48064397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In principle, this phenomenon partly falls under the concept that is labelled as ‘decanting’ within the private client law community. One of the key advantages of foundations as compared to other instruments is the high level of stability combined with very limited instruments to change the purpose as well as the beneficial interest. As with trusts, the ‘decanting’ in the field of the private foundation practice seems to be a method to adjust the set-up of the vehicle, leaving old provisions behind that might no longer be compatible with the changed circumstances of the founder’s/settlor’s family. The article deals with the different legal issues involved, such as the ultra-vires-doctrine as well as the relevant issues of unjust enrichment. Finally, the author gives guidelines for practitioners by discussing the recent developments in Liechtenstein case law.","PeriodicalId":43396,"journal":{"name":"Trusts & Trustees","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43554961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rarer still, to find this promise made jointly by co-owners as tenants-in-common of a property. In Cheung Lai Mui v Cheung Wai Shing [2021], the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal found the “cut-off” point for assessing detriment in such a case to be the death of the last surviving co-owner—but why should it be?
