The Constitutional Court has ruled that a trust created by a donor for the benefit of his children and their descendants unfairly discriminated against children adopted by one of his daughters as it did not include them.
Louis John Druiff executed a deed of trust as well as a will “for the benefit of his children and their descendants”.
The deed of trust said any income should be for his four children and their children.
