Gender-Based Violence and Intimate Partner Violence in Greece During the COVID–19 Pandemic
Authors: Niraki Melina Emmanouela
Published: April 2023

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly during lockdown periods, there has been an increase in cases of Gender-based Violence (GBV), Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), and Domestic Violence (DV) globally. This increase has been characterised as a “shadow pandemic” or a “second pandemic”. While previous research has shown a correlation between Violence against Women and times of crisis, little attention has been paid to the Greek context, which revealed a worrying increase in femicides in 2021. In particular, the significant response of civil organisations, women’s rights activists, and the #metooGR social movement in 2021 brought several GBV cases to public attention, triggering social mobilisation towards the fight for gender equality, elimination of GBV, and social justice. This research investigates Greece as a case study, focusing on GBV in the form of IPV in Greece since 2020, particularly during the first and second lockdown. To theoretically ground this investigation, a literature review on the topic has been conducted, complemented with statistics from annual reports on Violence against Women from 2019, 2020, and 2021, which were conducted by the General Secretariat for Demography and Family Policy and Gender Equality, a governmental actor dedicated to these matters. These annual reports are a newly formed initiative in Greece. Furthermore, through expert interviews with members of civil society and women’s rights activists, the discussion will move forward to the unique protection challenges faced during the pandemic, combined with newly invented ways to fight GBV and IPV, while giving survivors a possible way out even during this unique occasion. Based on the secondary data analysis and interviews, an increase in IPV is observed, accompanied by a lack of alignment between legal provisions and law enforcement, and a lack of an established action plan that can assure prevention and protection for women from the moment they experience violence until the closure of their case.

Published: April 2023

The gender barrier in the technological area represents a significant challenge for the members States of European Union. Also, in Portugal the participation of men and women in ICT is still uneven. This position is the result of the historical evolution of the position of women in the Portuguese society. This article aims to review the digitally index of women and the level of representation of women specialists in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in Portugal comparing with the position occupied by men and the rank occupied by women in other members States of the European Union. It also intended to know the policies that have been implemented in Portugal with the aim of improving the digital inclusion of women. To achieve our goals, we supported our study in statistics data and we recapitulate Portuguese policies adopted to strengthen female representation in the digitally and ICT market. Furthermore, we looked at the 2020 European Commission report on this subject (which presents pre-pandemic COVID-19 data, 2021 (which represents data during the period of the pandemics and the period of the emergence State in Portugal) and the 2022 report (which represents post-pandemic data to understand the evolution and impact of female digital inclusion caused by the COVID-19 period. The research technique adopted is document analysis based on the systematization of statistical data from the years 2019, 2020 and 2021, reading articles, academic books on the subject and the political programs implemented in Portugal to meet the digital challenges of women. we conclude that Portugal is on the right path, however, it is still too early to assess the success of the measures implemented.
An Acute Crisis adds to Unresolved Chronic Crisis
Authors: Engel-Hills Penelope , Engel Nicola
Published: April 2023

Residents in a community in the South Peninsula of the Western Cape, South Africa live with the reality of unresolved challenges. The women and children of this community face a burden from the prevailing inequality and structural violence that plays out in their daily lives as high levels of unemployment, substance abuse, violence in many forms, food insecurity, high school dropout rates and teenage pregnancy. The complexities of living in this community were exacerbated by the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic and the resultant lockdown regulations that destabilised all previous notions of normality. The pre-existing social challenges can be viewed as the residents’ experiences of hazards and stressors that have been in place for years in the unequal social structures of South Africa (The World Bank 2022). In this environment, of what can be interpreted as a community in chronic crisis (Dekker et al., 2021), the addition of the acute crisis of the pandemic, posed further cumulative effects on households that impacted more seriously on those who are already the most vulnerable. This paper presents reflections on the stories of women talking about their experiences of the global pandemic to this coastal community. We aim to show the impact on their lives as members of families within their community. The analysis will utilise the phases of a crisis (Emergency Management, 2022) where the pre-crisis or prodromal phase was recognised as life in the chronic crisis of structural violence. The acute or crisis phase of the pandemic became a lens for the effects of an existing long-term crisis compounded by athe. The response or chronic phase of the acute crisis was again found to be exacerbated by the existence of a long drawn out response phase to the chronic crisis. This paper is a window into the innovative attempts by this community to cope with the immense challenges of Covid-19, followed now by the post-crisis (resolution) phase that reflects the ongoing efforts to rebuild the community in the face of the cumulative effects of the pandemic, as but a temporary diversion from the challenges of a continuous chronic crisis. The post-crisis phase remains incomplete, however, a deeper understanding of crisis upon crisis provides knowledge that can assist those implementing social interventions in this community to tackle challenges as a state of chronic crisis for residents.

Published: April 2023

Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) subjects are extremely important to any nation's economy. For society to flourish sustainably there should be equal involvement of men and women in these professions. Even though the number of women in STEM areas has increased over the past several decades, there is still a sizable underrepresentation of women overall and in key positions. In the winter term 2020/21, among all the 1,090,804 students in STEM subjects at German universities, only 347,197 were female students (31,8%) (Statistisches Bundesamt, 2022). According to research by Corbett and Hill (2015), the following factors limit girls and women from majoring, for example, in computer science: Cultural prejudices, gender biases, and microinequities (subtle discriminatory actions) all contribute to a lack of sense of belonging in these sectors.

Overall, this study aims to better understand the key situations that affect girls' and young women's decision for or against a career in STEM. In particular, the research is interested in finding out about subtle or obvious discriminatory but also facilitating actions which influence attitude towards STEM subjects. An online questionnaire was distributed to a student panel via a market research institute, which was answered by 777 German female students aged 16-20 years in May 2022. The questionnaire collected female students’ memorable positive and negative critical incidents which had an impact on their attitude towards STEM subjects. On the one hand, female students reported a learning environment in school leading to fear, frustration or anxiety which result into them questioning their math or science competence. On the other hand, female students also reported very positive, memorable experiences and appraisal situations in and offsite the classroom which increase their positive attitude about STEM subjects and might lead to a future career choice in a STEM subject. The authors hope to spark a conversation about how institutions might better tailor their offers to a female audience.

RapidHITTM 200 by IntegenX® (Thermo Fisher Scientific) is an integrated system for fast human identification based on STR analysis, providing a number of advantages over traditional DNA profiling methods in terms of automation, speed of analysis and mobility. However, before rapid DNA technology could be implemented into routine forensic applications, both workflow and its results would have to be rigorously validated for reliability, performance and compatibility with data obtained from capillary electrophoresis, through an internal validation. As we were primarily interested in the RapidHITTM 200’s ability to efficiently generate DNA profiles from samples collected at crime scenes and to upload this data to the CODIS database (Combined DNA Index System), the evaluation study focused mainly on such samples. The results show that RapidHITTM 200 can be a useful tool to complement conventional identification methods used in forensic genetics.

Authors:   Komenda Główna Policji, Staciwa Katarzyna
Published: April 2023

Sexual exploitation and abuse of children in cyberspace, including the presence of content that is a visual record of criminal acts committed against them, is a global problem. The fight against this problem is effective when the actors involved make systemic use of the available technological solutions. This applies in particular to solutions that allow for a quick verification of whether potentially illegal content has been previously classified as Child Sexual Abuse Material (hereinafter: CSAM), as well as to communication between persons accessing such content in the course of their duties. This study aims to provide an overview of solutions and tools used in this area, both internationally and nationally, and to propose a systemic approach that will contribute to the effectiveness of current solutions in the above area at national level.
Escherichia coli phages isolated from broiler chickens showed ideal characteristics in gut modulation
Authors: Mohd Shaufi Mohd Asrore , Sieo Chin Chin
Published: April 2023

Phage has gained interest as an alternative antibiotic growth promoter (AGPs) in poultry production. Most phage studies only focus on phages that target pathogens. In this study, we isolated and characterised phages that target non-pathogens from chicken intestines. This study aimed to isolate and characterise phages that target non-pathogenic Escherichia coli for gut modulation study in broiler chickens. Based on a morphological study, the C1 phage belonged to the Podoviridae family, whereas C2, C3, and C4 phages belonged to the Siphoviridae family. The C1, C2, C3, and C4 phages appeared to be unique based on restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs), amplification of phage signature genes, and protein profiling (SDS-PAGE). The C1 phage had an ideal multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.001, followed by 0.1 for the C2, C3, and C4 phages. C1 had the highest adsorption rate of 99.7% in 1 min, followed by C2 (98%), C3 (98.7%), and C4 (98.2%), all of which were within 2 min. C1 also exhibited the largest burst size (72 PFU/infected cell) and the shortest latent period (5 min). The latent period of the C2, C3, and C4 phages was longer, lasting 10 minutes, and their burst sizes were 70, 77, and 46 PFU/infected cells, respectively. All phages had optimum lytic activity at pH 7 and 37°C. Each phage was unique and possessed favourable lytic characteristics, making all of them suitable for gut modulation study in chickens.
Structural complexity and physical mechanism of self-assembled lipid as nanocarriers: A review
Authors: Ilias Nazhan , Richmond Rocky Vester , Selvarajah Gayathri Thevi , Mat Azmi Intan Diana , Ajat Mokrish
Published: April 2023

Lipids such as glyceryl monooleate, phosphatidylcholine, and monoglyceride (CITREM) possess an amphipathic property that allows them to self-assemble into a complex internal structure when interacting with an aqueous solution. Since amphiphilic molecules possess hydrophilic heads and lipophilic tails, hydrophobic effects cause the spontaneous activity of the molecular rearrangement. The self-organization of the molecules often results in the phases of lipid polymorphism, for example microemulsion, inverse bicontinuous cubic (Q2), discontinuous hexagonal (H2), and micellar cubic (I2) Fd3m. Interestingly, these lamellar and non-lamellar phases have been applied in the development of nanocarriers for drug delivery due to their ability to provide a sustained drug release system, better drug bioavailability, and improved overall treatment. However, the attention that they are receiving from their application is not comparable to our understanding of the mechanisms involved in their synthesis. Elucidation of the spontaneous process helps in predicting and tuning the internal structure of an amphiphilic molecule to suit its application. Therefore, this review discusses the formation of lipid polymorphism from the thermodynamic point of view, critical packing parameter, and modified stalk theory.

It is the search of apricot cultivars, detailed studies and selection of the given crop plants which are more adapted to the complex of the bio- and abiotic environmental factors of a certain growing region that contribute to the increase of the economic efficiency of the researched crop fruits producing without essential capital investments into the technology. The express small invasive instrumental method of the protofluometry diagnostics enables to accelerate considerably the introductory and productional appreciation. The authors present the informative results of the functional diagnostics of five promise apricot cvs planted in 2019 (Jumbo coat, Rosy Rutbar, Tsygledi Biber (middle-ripening) and Siaivo (late-ripening)) under the conditions of the Right-Bank Part of the Ukraine᾽s Lisosteppe. The inland variety Siaivo bred at the Institute of Horticulture of the NAAS is used as control. The improvement of the apricot pigment complex work effectivity was fixed by the instrument «Floratest» in 2020 after the treatment of the orchard from weeds with the preparation «Glifosat». Its afteraction was characterized with more efficient work of the electrone-transport chain and slower supersaturated of the photosystem II reactionary centers. In 2021 the plants distinguished themselves for the very high functional activity which was higher than the analogous one in the previous season. It was reflected drawingly by the general smoothing of certain floral flashes, high intensity of the photochemical processes when the first and second maximum fluorescense waves and rather quick drawing outgoing to the stationary level. Generally during the two investigations years such cultivars as Jumbo Coat, Rosy Rutbar and Hargrand distinguished themselves for the high functional activity level, leaves pigment complex and adaptivity to the abiotic environment factors influence. Among the other experiment variants Jumbo Coat was characterized in 2020-2021 with greater susceptibility to main apricot fungal diseases causative agents. It decreased its per cent of the fruits infructescense. All the trees of the above enumerated cvs had high potential productivity. It is confirmed by the field explorations, in particular, the plants bent to the establishment of the great number of floral buds even in the period of the fruitbearing beginning when their productivity potential only formed.

The purpose of the researches was establishing the resistance of Callistephus chinensis (L.) Nees working collection cvs to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. callistephi (Beach) Snyder et Hansen under the condition of the Kyiv region. The object was the working collection of the of Callistephus chinensis (L.) Nees genetic fund of the Institute of Horticulture, NAAS of Ukraine. The valuation of the collection resistance has shown that 70 samples are practically not affected with the mentioned disease, 20 varieties do weakly, 5 strains severely and 5 cultivars very sevely. Most of resistant cvs concerning the household use are just plants assigner for cutting off (the bouquet formation). The appreciation of the affection level of the varieties in the collection has shown that 70 strains, that is 70 % of all the cultivars may be considered the most resistant ones, 50 cvs, that is 50 % of the whole collection are of high quality and those which are affected with the investigated disease were 5-20 %. Besides, the varieties which are high resistant belong to the varieties Pryncesa, Khudozhnia, Troiandopodibna and other. The analysis of the Callistephus chinensis (L.) Nees plants seeds productivity (g/bush) has shown that this index of the non-resistant strains is average. Thus, the results of the studies have shown that 70 cultivars, that is 70 % of the collection are the sources of the Fusarium causative agent (8.8 points). Cvs bred at IH NAAS (Zolota, Rozkishna, Kniagynia, Litnia Nich, Tsarivna, Shokoladka, Sophiia, Yantarna, Krasunia, Flamingo, Mariia etc.) blong to this group as well as 50 varieties of high or namentality (95-99 points), that is 50 % of the total collection are affected with the explored disease (5-20 %). The longer the plants flowerig stage lasts the oftener they prove to have F. oxysporum f. sp. callistephi (Beach) Snyder et Hansen.

Existen términos educativos que, en determinados contextos de espacio y tiempo, se emplean con reiterada imprecisión para alarma de expertos y desconcierto de inexpertos. Entre ellos, advertimos actualmente una polisémica abundancia de conceptos como Epistemología, Paradigma, Métodos Científicos, Constructivismo, Integración de conocimientos e Interdisciplinariedad para citar, al menos, los más repetidos. En este marco, el presente trabajo los analiza, significa y connota de manera fundamentada, intentando contribuir a la provisión de bases en favor de su más ajustada utilización y aportando, a la vez, reflexiones para el inicio o la prosecución de un necesario cambio de ideas, capaz de soslayar la alarma y el desconcierto arriba citados. Se valora que hechos muy distintos son los cambios semánticos diacrónicos resultantes de modificaciones en los contextos de época y, muy distintos y distantes los errores que obedecen antes a una moda que a una ponderada crítica y a una respaldada reflexión.

The 16th Sabah State Assembly took place after the Sabah State Assembly was dissolved on 30 July 2020 and the polling day was set by the EC on 26 September 2020 with 73 state seats contested. Generally, the GeOPES research panel will analyze the findings of studies conducted before, during and after the 16th Sabah PRN. Undeniably, the 16th Sabah PRN has shown interesting political and electoral dynamics in Sabah to study and explore; especially from the aspect of political development, central-state relations, media and political communication, as well as primordial sentiment. In addition, electoral issues are also interesting and have been highlighted by political parties or candidates in the Sabah PRN this time such as development issues, Sabah rights issues, subsistence/poverty issues, local issues as well as national issues as capital to win the support of voters. In the context of media and elections, for example, the medium used to deliver campaign materials, express issues to voters and promote manifesto is usually through mass media (electronics and print), cyber media, talks and posters. Generally, the objective of this panel session was to analyze the political dynamics that color the Sabah PRN 2020, as well as to see the influence or sentiment on the election issues. The research methodology carried out by GeOPES is to combine qualitative and quantitative methods. The data observed and analyzed through a combination of the two (2) methods scientifically can help us to understand the nature and form of Sabah's political dynamics in a more comprehensive Malaysian political environment. Thus, the findings of the 2020 Sabah PRN study by GeOPES can either be symbiosis or antagonist, understanding the political development of Malaysia ahead of the Sarawak PRN as well as the 15th general election.

Published: April 2023

Appreciation of Ethics and Civilization (PEP) has been introduced as one of the General Subjects (MPU) by the Higher Education Department of Malaysia instead of the Ethnic Relations course. The PEP course has a comprehensive curriculum content that includes nine topics, and it is tied to the elements of ethics and civilization. Thus, the main objective of this paper is focused on topic 1, Appreciation of Ethics and Civilization in the Malaysian Pattern by focusing on the understanding and concept of ethics and civilization. Understandings and concepts need to be clarified as they are the most important part of understanding the entire course. The concepts of ethics and civilization need to be seen not only in terms of understanding, but need to be explained from various perspectives that are in line with the goals to be achieved from the PEP course. Since this writing is a concept paper, the writing method is qualitative based on library research. This study uses secondary sources such as research results in journals, scientific writing and historical sources. The results of the study found that the concept of ethics and civilization for the PEP course needs to be seen in the context of the civilization of the Malay World and the malay as a native people. Knowledge of the country's history is also necessary to understand the concept, and it can help students to better understand the curriculum content of the PEP course.

A theme park is an attraction that the public enjoys. A theme park provides amusement and creates a leisure time for the public to spend time with family, friends and other relatives. Therefore, it is critical to determine the public's expectations and perceptions of theme park recreation. The purpose of this study is to determine the level of public participation in a theme park recreational activity. The theme parks selected are Sunway Lagoon Water Park, iCity Water World, and Wet World Water Park. All of the selected theme parks are located in the state of Selangor. The objective of the study is to investigate the influence factor of public perception on theme park attendance based on social demographics. Due to the Covid-19 situation, the survey was conducted through an online form using a Google form. A total of 437 people from the selected theme parks were surveyed. The study found that most theme park visitors are students and are between 18 and 30 years old. The result shows that public participation in theme park recreational activities is significant. It was found that people who do their leisure activities in amusement parks have higher expectations. On the other hand, the influence factor of public perception of participation in theme park leisure activities was significant. The iCity Water World has the highest influence. The influence factor of public perception of participation is statistically significant in theme parks. Nevertheless, the management should cooperate and communicate with the government and private organizations to improve the country's economy due to the Covid-19 situation.

La fortuna di Saunders v Vautier
Authors: Lupoi Maurizio
Published: April 2023

Tesi
La giurisprudenza successiva alla sentenza del caso Saunders v Vautier ha manifestato l’esistenza di principi del diritto successorio e del diritto dei trust inglese in forza dei quali il legatario o il beneficiario possono conseguire i beni loro destinati prima che sopraggiunga il termine indicato, rispettivamente, dal testatore o dal disponente. Un trust può così cessare per volontà della collettività dei beneficiari definitivamente individuati come beneficiari investiti o dei beneficiari appartenenti alla classe all’interno della quale i trustee possono scegliere coloro ai quali trasferire il fondo o di un singolo beneficiario definitivamente individuato come beneficiario investito in concorso con altri, definitivamente individuati o meno, limitatamente alla sua quota.
The author’s view
Case law subsequent to Saunders v Vautier has shown that there are principles in English succession and trust law under which legatees and beneficiaries may obtain what was left to them before the time appointed by the testator or settlor, therefore prevailing over his will. That applies to beneficiaries absolutely entitled to the trust fund acting together, to the members of the class within which the trustees must select the actual beneficiaries of the bounty and to a single beneficiary absolutely entitled to a share of the trust fund whether or not the others concur.
Trust, violazione del patto commissorio e retrocessione delle quote societarie (Trib. Roma, 22 novembre 2022)
Authors: Di Cerbo Loris

Massima
La nullità del trasferimento di quote societarie a scopo di garanzia, intercorso tra i due soci della s.r.l. cui le quote si riferiscono, per violazione del divieto del patto commissorio travolge sia l’acquisto dell’erede del creditore garantito che il conferimento da parte dell’erede stesso di una parte di tali quote in un trust il cui trustee deve ritenersi in mala fede, in quanto, quale amministratore della s.r.l., era necessariamente a conoscenza della controversia giudiziaria inerente detto trasferimento e pendente all’epoca del conferimento in trust.
L’atto con cui un coniuge vende un immobile all’altro è revocabile ex art. 2901 cod. civ. (App. Milano, 25 agosto 2022)
Authors: Giorgi Gloria
Published: April 2023

Massima
In tema di revocatoria, ai fini della dichiarazione di inefficacia di un atto posto in essere in pregiudizio del creditore, è sufficiente che la scientia damni consista nella semplice consapevolezza del debitore di arrecare pregiudizio agli interessi del creditore, ovvero nella previsione di un mero danno potenziale. Quanto, invece, all’elemento oggettivo, esso può consistere in una variazione quantitativa o anche solo qualitativa del patrimonio del debitore, la quale comporti una maggiore difficoltà od incertezza nella esazione coattiva del credito oppure ne comprometta la fruttuosità.
La revocatoria del trust in mancanza della produzione in giudizio dell’atto istitutivo (Trib. Pisa, 29 settembre 2022)
Authors: Scarano Nicola
Published: April 2023

Massima
Il trust posto in essere dal disponente successivamente al deposito di CTU che ne ha accertato la paternità non è revocabile ex art. 2901 cod. civ. da parte del figlio e della madre qualora costoro non producano l’atto istitutivo del trust. Né gli attori possono ottenere un ordine di esibizione, trattandosi di atto pubblico.
Il trust autodichiarato fra le incertezze giurisprudenziali (App. Milano, 7 luglio 2022)
Authors: Vescovi Alex
Published: April 2023

Massima
È nullo il trust caratterizzato dalla coincidenza tra disponente, trustee e beneficiario, a nulla rilevando che successivamente l'ufficio di trustee sia affidato ad altra persona e vengano nominati altri beneficiari in sostituzione dell'originario beneficiario.
La causa concreta di siffatto trust deve essere individuata nella frode ai creditori malgrado l’atto istitutivo faccia riferimento al soddisfacimento dei bisogni personali e familiari del disponente, considerato che esso è stato istituito quando le condizioni economiche della società di cui il disponente era amministratore e socio unico risultavano compromesse (in seguito, la società falliva e il disponente veniva convenuto in giudizio per mala gestio).
Il forum non conveniens a seguito dei casi Zhevago (21 settembre 2021) e Klifa (28 febbraio 2022)
Authors: D’Addazio Alessia
Published: April 2023

Tesi
Con l’uscita del Regno Unito dall’Unione Europea l’ordinamento giuridico inglese si riappropria della dottrina del forum non conveniens, espressione tipica dell’approccio discrezionale alla questione della giurisdizione dei sistemi di common law. Con una recente decisione, qui sinteticamente analizzata, il giudice inglese, passando in rassegna tutti i profili rilevanti per l’individuazione, nel caso concreto, del forum “clearly more appropriate” a decidere la controversia, trattiene la causa presso di sé, pur dovendo applicare il diritto francese, così tutelando l’attore dal rischio di elusione (dell’attuazione) della decisione da parte dei convenuti e garantendo effettività e tempestività della tutela giurisdizionale.
The author’s view
With the exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union, the English legal system regains the doctrine of forum non conveniens, a typical feature of the discretionary approach to the matter of jurisdiction in common law systems. In a recent decision, briefly examined here, the English court, considering all the relevant profiles for the identification, in the concrete case, of the “clearly more appropriate” forum to decide the dispute, holds the case before itself, while having to apply French law, thus protecting the plaintiff from the risk of circumvention (of the enforcement) of the decision by the defendants and ensuring effectiveness and promptness of judicial protection.
Sull'ordine di 'disclosure' ad avvocati inglesi di documenti ricevuti da trustee stranieri (ciprioti) (Gorbachev v Guriev, 30 settembre 2022)
Authors: Galanti Lucilla
Published: April 2023

Tesi
Il provvedimento in commento ha confermato che un giudice inglese può ordinare a terzi l’esibizione di documenti (third party disclosure) nei confronti di trustee stranieri (ciprioti) sul presupposto che i documenti oggetto di richieste documentali (disclosure) siano stati inviati dai trustee (nello specifico, tramite e-mail) a legali inglesi.
L’autore rileva le criticità di una ricostruzione in cui la disclosure verso terzi sia fondata sul semplice invio dei documenti a soggetti (avvocati) sottoposti alla giurisdizione inglese; invio che avrebbe l’effetto di rendere i documenti possibile oggetto di disclosure, ma, allo stesso tempo, di assoggettare al provvedimento di una corte inglese terzi che alla giurisdizione sarebbero altrimenti estranei.
The author’s view
The decision under examination has confirmed that an English Court may impose an order for third-party disclosure on foreign (Cypriot) trustees, provided that the documents in question have been transmitted to English lawyers by the trustees through electronic means.
The author raises concerns regarding a scenario in which the basis for disclosure against third parties outside England and Wales is merely the transmission of documents to lawyers within the jurisdiction of the English courts.
La tutela dei beneficiari finali nel corso della durata del trust (Trib. Campobasso, 12 agosto 2022)
Authors: Angelucci Marta
Published: April 2023

Tesi
Il Tribunale di Campobasso esclude il diritto dei beneficiari finali di ottenere dal trustee il rendiconto del trust e di chiedere la sostituzione del trustee in quanto, al contrario dei beneficiari del reddito, questi non si configurano quali beneficiari “attuali ed immediati” del trust ma godono di una mera aspettativa di diritto.
Emergono tre questioni fondamentali: (i) la legge regolatrice del trust, la Legge di Jersey, prevede il diritto dei beneficiari di chiedere al trustee l’esibizione del rendiconto; (ii) il Tribunale esamina il merito della questione adottando un approccio basato sull’interpretazione letterale dell’atto istitutivo, tuttavia, il diritto dei trust si muove su piani decisamente più complessi e la questione avrebbe forse meritato uno sguardo più attento; (iii) è doveroso dare evidenza del fatto che l’aspettativa di diritto non è una situazione giuridica irrilevante per il diritto ma è una situazione giuridica soggettiva attiva, prevista e tutelata dall’ordinamento (per quanto in maniera meno intensa rispetto al diritto soggettivo pieno).
The author’s view
The Court of Campobasso excludes the right of the final beneficiaries to obtain from the trustee an inventory of the trust fund and to request the replacement of the trustee because, unlike the income beneficiaries, they do not qualify as “current and immediate” beneficiaries of the trust but they have a mere expectation of right.
Three key issues emerge: (i) the governing law of the trust, the Trusts Jersey Law, provides for the right of the beneficiaries to demand from the trustee the production of the inventory; (ii) the Court examines the merits of the issue by adopting an approach based on the literal interpretation of the deed of trust, however, the law of trusts moves on decidedly more complex planes and the issue would perhaps have deserved a closer look; (iii) it is necessary to give evidence that the expectation of right is not a legal situation irrelevant to the law but is an active subjective legal situation, provided for and protected by the legal system (even if less intensively than the full subjective right).
