In a landmark judgment concerning the validity of a 1970s will trust, the Royal Court of Jersey (Commissioner Sir Michael Birt, sitting alone) has imported and applied a number of elements of English law into the Jersey law of trusts and has in some respects developed them. Significantly for Jersey law trusts established prior to the introduction of the Trusts (Jersey) Law 1984, the Court held that the English law rules on perpetuities were applicable with the effect that, in this case, the indefinite duration of the intended trust was a cause of invalidity.

Such protections were relatively uncontroversial when included in state anti-discrimination laws. However, the religious discrimination debate became toxic under former prime minister Scott Morrison when it became tied to the rights of religious schools to discriminate against LGBTIQ+ staff and students.
