FOR INTER VIVOS TRUST APPLY OBJECTIVE INTENTION TEST (Byrnes) Rule: The HC in Byrnes overturned the subjective approach in Joliffe and held that the settlor’s intention to create a trust is to be determined OBJECTIVELY, not subjectively.

Application when there is NO DOUBT to the intention: There is no doubt that this clause is intended to create a trust. Application: For trusts that are created ORALLY Court will look at surrounding circumstances to determine whether intention is manifested (Paul v Constance).
