Private Foundations: Law and Practice provides a rigorous review of the law of private foundations in both civil and common law jurisdictions. Offering a detailed analysis of the laws underpinning private foundations legislation, it is an invaluable guide for anyone involved in this developing area. The English concept of the trust has spread throughout the world. In this immensely scholarly and fascinating book, Paolo Panico shows this fusion of an obligation of conscience with a title to property taking slightly different forms in different jurisdictions - sometimes by statute and sometimes by reason of a decision of the local court. A lucid and hugly informative work.
