Trusts (Guernsey) Law 2007 · 2015 + 2018 修订 · s.14 firewall · s.15 reserved powers

一个北京家庭 2018 年通过香港 PB 设立 Guernsey discretionary trust,资产是已上市港股。2024 年配偶起诉离婚并在英国(夫前移民身份)拿到 Family Division 判决——判决要求把信托财产视为"financial resources of the husband"。配偶律师拿这份英国判决到 Guernsey 申请承认与执行。Guernsey Royal Court 援引 Trusts Law s.14——其内容是 Guernsey 信托效力与受益权认定专由 Guernsey 法判断,外国关于继承 / 婚姻财产 / 强制继承的判决在影响 Guernsey 信托财产范围内不予承认。这条 s.14 是 Guernsey 给中国 / 离婚国客户的"地理护栏"。

Guernsey 与 Jersey 是英联邦 Channel Islands 两兄弟。Guernsey 2007 年通过新 Trusts Law(取代 1989 旧法),核心两条是 s.14(防火墙)和 s.15(保留权力安全港)。它们与 Jersey Article 9 / 9A 几乎平行,但措辞与触发条件有差异——这些差异在跨境家事诉讼里有时是决定性的。
