The Law of Trust originated in the United Kingdom, first developed by the Courts of Chancery in the 12th century. From then, a body of precedents has been established. Other than the statutory duty of care imposed by the ordinance, FGA Trust is also subject to the common law duty of care from the body of precedent aforementioned. FGA Trust matches not only the local statutory standard but also the ever-changing common law standard.
