Abstract

This article highlights the contribution of Almarhum Tan Sri Harun M. Hashim in laws relating to land and trusts. The research methodology employed for this study is legal doctrinal, through analysing Tan Sri’s judicial decisions on land law and the law of trusts. This study reveals that Almarhum Tan Sri Harun M. Hashim had contributed to a vast spectrum of knowledge revolving around land and trusts which is in line with Islam, culture, and values. Tan Sri had addressed and contributed to the development of legal principles in land law including charge, caveat, prohibitory orders, as well as equity and trust principles. Careful consideration of the findings of the review discloses the personal attachment and devotion of the work of Almarhum Tan Sri Harun M. Hashim to the legal development in upholding justice universally as well as to the litigants. As such, the late Tan Sri did not confine his career only as a judge but was also actively involved in and served as a committee member in justice related organisations. The end of his career as a judge saw him continue as an academic, providing a wider platform for him to propagate justice in the preparation of future lawyers and judges.
