Generally

C.A.9, 2018. Cit. generally in diss. op. and in ftn. to diss. op. In an action brought by growers against
financial company that had purchased accounts receivable of distributor that had failed to pay growers,
on rehearing en banc, this court reversed and remanded the district court's entry of summary judgment
for defendant, holding that a threshold true-sale inquiry had to determine whether or not the assets in the
PACA   trust that were transferred in transactions labeled sales remained assets of the trust. The dissent
noted that California trust law was derived from the Restatement Second of Trusts, and that, because the
Restatement Second had been  superseded by the Restatement Third of Trusts, the court could look to the
Restatement Third for guidance. S & H Packing & Sales Co., Inc. v. Tanimura Distributing, Inc., 883
F.3d 797, 815.

D.N.J.Bkrtcy.Ct.2017.  Cit. generally in cases cit. in disc. Company that was assigned wholesale
produce supplier's debt, which arose from a statutory trust created by the Perishable Agricultural
Commodities  Act (PACA)  by merchant's re-sale of produce purchased from supplier, filed a claim
against merchant's owner, who had petitioned for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, seeking a determination of the
nondischargeability of the debt for fraud or defalcation while acting in a fiduciary capacity. This court
held that the assignment of the supplier's claim and interest in the trust was valid and permissible, and
that defendant intentionally or recklessly disregarded his fiduciary obligations arising from the PACA
trust by using sale proceeds to pay other business expenses. The court noted that, when analyzing
PACA,  courts have looked to the Restatement Third of Trusts for general principles of trust law. In re
Guarracino, 575 B.R. 298, 310.

Introductory  Note

Vt.2017. Intro. Note quot. in sup. Wife appealed the trial court's final property-division award in a
divorce action, challenging the court's refusal to enforce a subpoena requiring husband's father to testify
about a trust that father created with husband's mother and his capacity to change its beneficiary from
husband to husband's son, keeping the property out of the marital estate, arguing that father lacked the
requisite testamentary capacity and that the court should have included the trust assets as part of the
marital estate. This court held that the trial court did not err in granting husband's motions to quash the
subpoena. The court examined wife's argument that husband had equitable ownership over the trust
assets, and cited the Introductory Note to Chapter 1 of the Restatement Third of Trusts in noting that, in
the context of trust law, all beneficiaries had equitable ownership in the trust assets and that wife's
argument was  thus nothing more than a reassertion of her position that, notwithstanding the beneficiary
