Emily and David are trustees who have been planning to defraud the trust they administer by transferring some of its assets to a company they control.

Which of the following statements best describes the position?

The correct answer is B. The court has discretion to issue a prohibitive injunction to prevent an action from taking place if it appears just and equitable to do so. In this case, Rachel, as a beneficiary, can apply for a prohibitive injunction to prevent the fraudulent transfer of trust assets. Tracing is a mechanism to follow trust property into other assets, and specific performance is to compel completion of a contract. Thus, a prohibitive injunction is the appropriate remedy to stop the planned fraudulent transfer.
Key Point: Beneficiaries can seek a prohibitive injunction to prevent trustees from executing actions that breach their fiduciary duties or defraud the trust.
