Remedial constructive trust
A remedial constructive trust is a type of constructive trust recognised in New Zealand, Canada and the United States, which allows courts to give a discretionary property remedy for breaches of certain obligations, or to acknowledge various rights. It has not been recognised in English trusts law, although a number of judges have proposed that it be acknowledged.
