The trustees under a deed of settlement had a duty to inform a beneficiary, on his attaining 21, that he had an interest in the capital and income of the funds of the trust. Havers J said: ‘A fortiori, if the trustees did not hand over to the plaintiff on attaining 21 income to which he was entitled, it would be their duty to explain to him that he was entitled to call for and have the interest paid to him’.
