Trust me, it’s effective: A discussion of when a trustee’s resignation is deemed to be effective
Trust me, it’s effective: A discussion of when a trustee’s resignation is deemed to be effective Trusts are often faced with trustee resignations, which can impact the remaining trustees’ ability to carry out their duties and functions. Section 21 of the Trust Property Control Act 57 of 1988 affords trustees the right to resign by providing that, whether or not the trust deed provides for trustee resignations, a trustee may resign by notice in writing to the Master of the High Court (Master) and the beneficiaries who have legal capacity, or tutors or curators of the beneficiaries of the trust under tutorship or curatorship. The trust deed may also have its own resignation regime, for instance it may provide that a resignation may be affected by written notice to the co-trustees.

Court reaffirms that holders of floating charges pre-Insolvency Act, retain the right to appoint receivers
The general rule in statutory interpretation is that legislation does not apply retrospectively unless expressly stated or implied by necessity. However, Parliament has the authority to enact laws that apply to past events. This principle is frequently tested in court, particularly in cases concerning contracts and security instruments created before the enactment of new laws.
