LawNews welcomes opinion and commentary pieces from all sides of the political and social spectrum. LawNews supports the right of individuals to hold and express different opinions and will publish a wide range of views to consider and enjoy. These pieces are not the opinion of LawNews or The Law Association of New Zealand; they represent the views of the individual writers who submit commentary pieces for publication.
Individual opinion pieces are not news stories so there is no ethical requirement for them to be balanced with contrasting or opposite opinions at the time of publication. Should you disagree with something you have read, we encourage you to add to the debate by submitting your own opinion for publication on the LawNews website.
Buried in the Trusts Act 2019 is a little-known section that empowers a court to force a beneficiary who is threatening a trustee either to sue the trustee or forfeit the cause of action. The section prevents a beneficiary from sitting on the fence, as it were, and requires him or her, in colloquial language, to put up or shut up.
