巴哈馬歷時最長的信託訴訟案終於在英國樞密院結案,上訴受益人 Ashley Dawson-Damer 再次敗訴。 Dawson-Damer 曾試圖撤銷 2006 年和 2009 年的兩項任命,這兩項任命將幾乎所有 4 億美元的資產轉移到新的信託中,而她被排除在受益人之外。她辯稱,受託人錯誤地認為公司委託人的意圖是將資產用於子孫後代的利益,而不是她自己的利益(Ashley Dawson-Damer訴Grampian Trust Company ,2025 UKPC 32)。
BAHAMAS: Dawson-Damer judgment clarifies trustee responsibilities in discretionary trusts
The longest-running trust claim ever brought in the Bahamas has finally reached its conclusion in the UK Privy Council, with the appellant beneficiary Ashley Dawson-Damer again unsuccessful. Dawson-Damer had sought to set aside two appointments in 2006 and 2009 that transferred almost all the USD400 million assets into new trusts from which she was excluded as a beneficiary. She argued unsuccessfully that the trustee had incorrectly identified the corporate settlor's intention as applying the assets for the benefit of future generations rather than herself (Ashley Dawson-Damer v Grampian Trust Company, 2025 UKPC 32).
