Pennington V Waine
is an English trusts law case, concerning the requirements for a trust to be properly constituted, and the operation of constructive trusts. The case represents an equitable exception to the need for a complete transfer of property in law. Facts Mrs Ada Crampton wanted to transfer her 400 shares in a company called Crampton Bros. (Coopers) Ltd to her nephew, Harold. She asked Mr Pennington, who represented the company's auditors, to prepare a share transfer form. She filled it in and gave it back to Mr Pennington. Mr Pennington put it on the auditors’ files but never gave it on to the company for the registration of shares in Harold's name to be completed. Ada died. The other people who stood to inherit, (including Philip Waine) argued that unlike ''Re Rose'', Ada had not done all she could have, because she had not handed the completed transfer form to Harold or the company. Harold contended that the shares were held on trust for him, so that the transfer must be completed. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Proprietary Estoppel
Proprietary estoppel is a legal claim, especially connected to English land law, which may arise in relation to rights to use the property of the owner, and may even be effective in connection with disputed transfers of ownership. Proprietary estoppel transfers rights if *someone is given a clear assurance that they will acquire a right over property, *they reasonably rely on the assurance, *they act substantially to their detriment on the strength of the assurance, and *it would be unconscionable to go back on the assurance. If these elements of assurance, reliance and detriment, and unconscionability are present, the usual remedy will be that the property will be transferred to the claimant, if the court views the reliance to warrant a claim in all the circumstances. History In 1862, in '' Dillwyn v Llewelyn'', a son was held to have acquired a house from his father because he was given a written notice that he would, despite never having completed a deed for conveyance, after ...

Mascall V Mascall
was an appeal on formalities in English law. The final, registration stage of a witnessed deed of transfer (of land) is not imperative in all circumstances, the court confirmed. Those circumstances include that there must be no detriment to a third party bona fide purchaser or mortgagee for value without notice; and there must be no fraud or abuse of trust as defined by law. It has wider resonance with the formalities of Trusts in English law. Facts A father wished to transfer (at an undervalue) land to his son. He made and gave him an executed deed of transfer (and as further show of intent the land certificate). Then they fell out, and the father changed his mind. The son had not yet gone through with the registration at HM Land Registry as the Stamp Office wrongly rejected the transfer, namely sending it to the father who was the party but not the applicant. The father argued that it was still his property.[1984EWCA Civ 10 (1984) 50 P&CR 119 Judgment Argument on considera ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
