ABSTRACTIn his course dedicated to common law trust and trust in the Roman-Germanic tradition, Donovan Waters, Professor at the University of Victoria, Canada, elaborates on the theory that, though the English trust and fideicommissum have much in common, they have two totally different approaches. To this purpose Professor Waters recalls of the origins and the historical development of common law trust. He then develops the theory of the modern Anglo-American trust and its applications. In the next chapter statutory and code adoptions of the trust idea are explained. In the closing chapter, Professor Waters analyses the future developments of the trust idea.
Dans son cours consacré au Trust en common law et dans les droits de tradition romano-germanique, Donovan Waters, professeur de l’Université de Victoria, au Canada, étudie la thèse selon laquelle, malgré de fortes ressemblances, le trust anglais et le fideicommissum relèveraient d’approches totalement différentes. Pour ce faire, le Professeur Waters rappelle les origines et le développement historique du trust en common law. Il présente ensuite la théorie anglo-américaine moderne du trust, avant de montrer les applications qui en sont faites. Le Professeur Waters s’intéresse ensuite à la reprise de la notion de trust dans les lois et travaux de codification. Il analyse enfin les développements que la notion de trust pourrait connaître à l'avenir.
