The Scottish Law Commission's project on the law of trusts has been under way for some years, and has included the publication of a total of ten Discussion Papers and Consultation Papers, with two Reports on specific issues: first, on trustees' powers and duties (a Joint Report with the Law Commission for England and Wales) and, secondly, on variation and termination of trusts. We have now reached the stage of a comprehensive Report and draft Bill. The latter is intended as a replacement for all existing trust legislation, other than that dealing specifically with charitable and public trusts. Charitable trusts are now governed by the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005; the result is that the law governing that area forms what is effectively a code of its own. Nevertheless, provisions in this Report and the attached draft Bill cover general aspects of trust law that apply equally to public and charitable and to private trusts; to that extent this Report is relevant to such trusts and is intended to be a comprehensive review of the law of trusts together with detailed recommendations for reform. n Group IT4IT(TM) Reference Architecture, Version 2.1, an Open Group Standard, provides a vendor-neutral, technology-agnostic, and industry-agnostic reference architecture for managing the business of IT.
