Trust Litigation in Bermuda
Andrew A. Martin · October 6th, 2006
Bermuda has in large part adopted English legal principles and the English general statutory framework for the establishment and administration of trusts. Subject to the provisions of a few local Acts which alter amend or modify English principles, the Supreme Court Act 1905 requires the court to apply the English principles of law and equity of general application which were in force on the date the Islands were settled in 1612. This is interpreted as meaning English common law principles up to the current day.
