Culliford v Thorpe [2018] EWHC 426 (Ch)

Barristers: Adam Boyle

Areas of Law: Proprietary Estoppel and Wills & Trusts

Introduction

Adam represented the claimants in this proprietary estoppel/constructive trust case decided by HHJ Matthews sitting in the High Court in Bristol. The case received media attention as a result of the finding that a relatively informal exchange/agreement between two unmarried partners could (once detrimental reliance was added in) give rise to a constructive trust/estoppel in circumstances where one of the partners died and many facets of the deal/agreement between the parties were not carried out.
