This is a slight digression from the law of co-ownership, but it is appropriate to make it at this point. If you refer back to 12.3.6 to 12.4 you will see that in those sections I identify a number of situations where a new-style trust of land may arise with only one trustee. At 12.4 I make the point that:
If follow that where there is a sole trustee of a new-style trust, that trustee should appoint a colleague before selling the land or making some other disposition. What happens if he tries to sell (or mortgage or lease) the trust land acting on his own is a difficult question.
