Question:

Where a trustee disburses trust property in breach of trust . . . it is clear that the fault lies chiefly with the trustee. However, a claimant may also wish to pursue claims against third parties who were somehow involved in the trustee’s breach of duty; those third parties may have received the misdirected property, or induced or facilitated the breach. These claims may be made in addition to claims against the “first party” wrongdoer.’ (Hanbury and Martin, Modern Equity, 21st edition, para. 25-001)
