Law of Contract July 2010 LEVEL 6 - UNIT 5 - EQUITY AND TRUSTS SUGGESTED ANSWERS - JANUARY 2014 Note to Candidates and Tutors: The purpose of the suggested answers is to provide students and tutors with guidance as to the key points students should have included in their answers to the January 2014 examinations. The suggested answers set out a response that a good (merit/distinction) candidate would have provided. The suggested answers do not for all questions set out all the points which students may have included in their responses to the questions. Students will have received credit, where applicable, for other points not addressed by the suggested answers. Students and tutors should review the suggested answers in conjunction with the question papers and the Chief Examiners’ reports which provide feedback on student performance in the examination. SECTION A Question 1 (a) “Every effort” test The transfer of the legal title to company shares is not complete until the transferee is registered by the company. Similarly a gift of the legal estate in land is not effective until the donee is registered at the Land Registry. In these cases the final stage in the transfer formalities is in the hands of a third party and is outside the donor’s control. Such gifts are effective in equity before the legal title is transferred if the donor has done everything required of him or her to transfer legal title (Milroy v Lord (1862); Re Rose (1952)). In Re Rose it was held that this stage is reached for gifts of shares when the transferor has parted with the stock transfer form and share certificate beyond recall and it lies in the transferee’s power to be registered as the new shareholder. Once that point is reached, it is too late for the donor to withdraw. The insistence on some formalities provides time for donors to change their minds. They are not bound until they have parted with the relevant documents. However, the every effort test ensures that a donor’s intention to make a gift is not defeated by, for example, the donor’s death before registration or the company’s refusal to register the donee. (b) The rule in Strong v Bird (1874) The rule applies when a donor makes an attempted lifetime gift but does not effectively transfer the property. The gift is perfected if the donor dies and the donee acquires title to the property by becoming the donor’s personal representative. It is necessary for the donor to have intended an immediate lifetime gift and for the intention to have continued up until his death. Page 1 of 15 Strong v Bird is an example of the courts’ readiness to carry out the donor’s intention by not allowing it to be thwarted by the absence of a formality. It also allows the donor to change his or her mind at any time until his or her death. (c) Unconscionability Pennington v Waine (2002) concerned the transfer of shares. The donor had handed the stock transfer form to her agent but the donee had not been registered at the company when the donor died. The donor and the agent had told the donee about the gift and the agent had told the donee there was nothing which he needed to do. Believing that he had been given the shares, the donee became a director of the company. It was held that the gift was complete in equity because it would have been unconscionable for the donor to have changed her mind. Arden LJ did not define unconscionability in this context but said it was significant that the donee had been told about the gift and had become a director. Arden LJ suggested that the courts should not be too eager to declare attempted gifts to be void on a technicality because this runs counter to the donor’s intention. She said that “Equity should not strive officiously to defeat an intended gift” citing the case of T Choithram International SA v Pagarani (2001) as authority. In Choithram, a settlor orally declared that he was giving all his wealth to a charitable trust of which he was one of the trustees. He died before transferring the property (which comprised valuable shareholdings) to the trustees. Thus, the trust was incompletely constituted. The Privy Council held the trust was valid contrary to the maxim “equity will not assist a volunteer”. The settlor had done enough to declare himself a trustee and the Privy Council decided, it would have been unconscionable for him to have changed his mind at that stage. In Pennington giving effect to the gift carried out the donor’s intention because she died without changing her mind. She thought that her agent was dealing with the registration of the donee. However, the point at which it becomes unconscionable for a donor to change his or her mind is unclear due to the uncertainty inherent in the term ‘unconscionability’. If it would be unconscionable for the donor to recant once he has told the donee about the gift, then the paternalistic policy of allowing donors to change their minds is seriously compromised. In Curtis v Pulbrook (2011) the judge suggested that Pennington was a case of proprietary estoppel which is a recognised exception to the rule that equity will not perfect an imperfect gift. If this is the case, the donor can change his or her mind unless the donee has acted to his or her detriment in reliance on the gift being made. Indeed proprietary estoppel is a well-established exception to the maxim that ‘equity will not perfect an imperfect gift’. More recently, the courts have favoured the broad approach of asking whether it would be unconscionable for a party to deny an assurance on which the other party has relied and acted on to his detriment (e.g. Gillett v Holt (2001)) Question 2 Dispositions which are to have effect on a person’s death should be contained in a valid will. In order to be valid, a will must be in writing and signed by the Page 2 of 15 testator in the presence of two witnesses who then sign the will in the presence of the testator (s9 of the Wills Act 1837). Secret trusts do not fully comply with s9. In a fully secret trust, the will contains a gift to X. The fact that X is to hold on trust for Y is not set out in the will but is communicated to X (orally or in writing) outside the will before the testator dies (Wallgrave v Tebbs (1855); Re Boyes (1884)). In a half secret trust the will contains a gift to X to hold on trust, but the identity of the beneficiary is kept off the face of the will and is communicated to X before or at the time the will is executed (Re Keen (1937); Re Bateman (1970)). Secret trusts are enforced only if X agrees to act as a trustee. In both fully and half secret trusts, the transfer of the property to the trustee which constitutes the trust is contained in the will executed in accordance with s9 but the declaration of trust is outside the will. Thus, secret trusts are enforced despite non-compliance with the Wills Act. There are two possible explanations. The first explanation is that ‘equity will not allow statute to be used as an instrument of fraud’ (McCormick v Grogan (1869)). If a fully secret trust were not enforced, the trustee (X) would take beneficially because, on the face of the will, he or she is a legatee taking absolutely. This would be a fraud when X has agreed to act as a trustee and, in reliance on X’s agreement, the testator has made a will leaving the legacy to X or has left the legacy unrevoked. However, this does not explain why the secret beneficiary is allowed to benefit. Fraud would be prevented by refusing to allow X to take beneficially by imposing a resulting trust for the testator’s estate. The prevention of fraud theory breaks down completely in relation to half-secret trusts. The fact that X is to be a trustee is apparent on the face of the will. There is no possibility of X taking beneficially and therefore, no possibility of fraud by X. The fraud theory is viable if the fraud consists of not allowing the beneficiary to benefit but it is difficult to see why this should be so when the promise to hold on trust was not made to the beneficiary and the beneficiary has not relied on the promise to his or her detriment. The modern explanation why secret trusts are enforced is the ‘dehors the will’ theory (Blackwell v Blackwell (1929)). This explanation runs as follows: The testator communicates to the secret trustee the terms of the intended trust, and the secret trustee accepts the obligation. This is an inter vivos declaration of trust. At this stage the legal title remains with the testator, and the trust is incompletely constituted. The testator dies, and the legal title is then transferred to the secret trustee/legatee under the testator’s will. The trust is now completely constituted. This solves the apparent contradiction with s9 Wills Act 1837, which requires any trust declared on death to be in signed writing, and witnessed by two witnesses. The secret trust is not declared on death: it is an inter vivos declaration of trust. The dehors the will theory explains the decision in Re Gardner (No 2) (1923). The secret beneficiary died before the testator.

  • The Overlapping of Legal Concepts a Legal Realist Approach to the Classification of Private Law
    THE OVERLAPPING OF LEGAL CONCEPTS A LEGAL REALIST APPROACH TO THE CLASSIFICATION OF PRIVATE LAW by DAVID SALMONS A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Birmingham Law School College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham Summer 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT The main aim of this research is two-fold; firstly, these chapters will seek to demonstrate the unreliability of theoretical or abstract approaches to legal reasoning in describing the law. Secondly, rather than merely providing a deconstruction of previous attempts to classify private law, the chapters attempt to construct an overlapping approach to classification. This represents a new way of classifying private law, which builds on the foundations of the lessons of legal realism and explains how classification can accommodate overlaps to assist in identifying the core elements of private law reasoning. Following the realist tradition, the thesis argues for narrower formulations of the concepts of property, contract and tort. It is then argued that within these narrower concepts, the law is made more predictable and clearer.

SECTION A 1(a) A decree of specific performance is a court order instructing a party to a contract to perform their obligations under that contract. Failure to comply is contempt of court. It is a precondition of a decree of specific performance that the remedy at law is inadequate. That remedy is generally damages. This is consistent with the role of equity within our legal system, as it developed to provide remedies for those who could not receive the assistance they required through the common law courts. Whether damages are an adequate remedy will depend on the subject matter of the contract. If a contract is for the sale and purchase of an item that is unique, no amount of damages will be able to make up for the fact that the purchaser will no longer receive the item they contracted for.

  • 1 Equity Reading Lists 2020-2021
    1 EQUITY READING LISTS 2020-2021 Plan of reading lists 1. Declaring a trust 2. Trusts for non-charitable purposes 3. Charitable trusts 4. Failures to create a trust and resulting trusts 5. Fiduciaries and fiduciary liabilities 6. The powers, duties and control of trustees 7. Responses to a breach of trust (1): personal liabilities 8. Responses to a breach of trust (2): proprietary claims Books On the reading lists, I will be referring to: Webb & Akkouh, Trusts Law, 5th ed (Palgrave Macmillan, 2017) (‘Webb’ on the reading lists). This is my favourite of the available textbooks, but is on the short side. This at least gives it the virtue of brevity – but it does mean that it also doesn’t cover the law in enough detail for your purposes. So I will also be referring to: Davies & Virgo, Equity and Trusts: Text, Cases and Materials, 3rd ed (OUP, 2019) (‘D&V’ on the reading lists). You will also need an up-to-date, and unmarked, copy of Blackstone’s Statutes on Property Law (last year’s version, from Land Law, will be fine). Cases The reading lists will refer you to a number of key cases – you will be expected to read them. But having read them, don’t stop there. Use them as the basis for deepening your knowledge of the law by going onto Westlaw, looking them up, and then on the menu on the left, click on ‘Key cases citing’ and ‘Journal articles’ to see whether there are any recent cases that have anything interesting to say about the key cases to which I have referred you, and to see whether there are any interesting casenotes or articles in legal journals on those cases.

    Creation of Express Trusts Capacity - ‘Legal competency or qualification’ - Two common exclusions = poor mental health, infancy - S1(6) LPA 1925: a minor cannot hold a legal estate in land (so cannot create a trust of land). THE THREE CERTAINTIES - Knight v Knight: Lord Langdale: for an express trust to be created the settlor must express 3 things with certainty. o Certainty of intention o Certainty of subject matter o Certainty of objects Certainty of Intention - Did settlor intend to subject the property to a trust obligation? - Two ways in which a trust can be created: o The settlor declares himself trustee of property that he already owns; o Settlor transfers property to another person directing that they hold it on trust for the beneficiary. - Has the settlor done enough to make clear his intention? - Re Kayford Ltd – Megarry LJ: ‘a trust can be created without using the words “trust” or “confidence” or the like; the question is whether in substance a sufficient intention to create a trust has been manifested’. - Company opened separate account, ‘Customer’s Trust deposit Account’ to pay in money received for goods not yet delivered, withdrawing the money only if goods were later delivered – so they could refund customers if goods not supplied (if company went into liquidation). - Held: trust had been created. - Paul v Constance: C separate from his wife + lived with P.

  • Rethinking the Common Intention Constructive Trusts in Stack V Dowden and Jones V Kernott – Should the Resulting Trusts Be Preferred?
    Rethinking the Common Intention Constructive Trusts in Stack v Dowden and Jones v Kernott – should the Resulting Trusts be preferred? by Yee Ching Leung Abstract Yee Ching Leung takes the two landmark cases, Stack v Dowden [2007] UKHL 17 and Jones v Kernott [2011] UKSC 53, as starting points to consider the new Common Intention Constructive Trust approach in dealing with the issue of how the beneficial interest of a property is to be shared between two separating cohabitants. The article analyses whether this new approach should be preferred over the traditional Resulting Trust approach. The author explains the two approaches and gives three arguments in support of the Resulting Trust approach. First, it provides a greater degree of certainty, which is crucial in property law. Secondly, the traditional approach is more coherent in principle when comparing to the Common Intention Constructive Trust approach. Thirdly, the author argues that the Resulting Trust approach would not leave the discretion of judges unconfined. Toward the end of the article, the author gives two brief replies to the critics of the Resulting Trust approach. However, the Common Intention Constructive Trust approach is now the law of England and whether the Resulting Trust approach will return remains to be seen. I. Introduction This article concerns the issue of how the beneficial interest of a property is to be shared between two separating cohabitants. Generally, the issue can be resolved by either an express trust or an express agreement. However, in a domestic context, it is common that cohabitants do not make explicit arrangements. Accordingly, the courts have to decide the issue when disputes arise during their separation.

    CHIEF EXAMINER COMMENTS WITH SUGGESTED ANSWERS JANUARY 2021 LEVEL 6 - UNIT 5 – EQUITY & TRUSTS Note to Candidates and Learning Centre Tutors: The purpose of the suggested answers is to provide candidates and learning centre tutors with guidance as to the key points candidates should have included in their answers to the January 2021 examinations. The suggested answers set out a response that a good (merit/distinction) candidate would have provided. The suggested answers do not for all questions set out all the points which candidates may have included in their responses to the questions. Candidates will have received credit, where applicable, for other points not addressed by the suggested answers. Candidates and learning centre tutors should review the suggested answers in conjunction with the question papers and the Chief Examiners’ comments contained within this report, which provide feedback on candidate performance in the examination. CHIEF EXAMINER COMMENTS The better performing candidates exhibited similar characteristics, in that they possessed both good knowledge and understanding of case law and statute, which they were then able to deploy in providing relevant legal analysis, argument or advice. Weaker candidates were found wanting in one or more of these respects. A number of weaker candidates tended simply to recite everything that they were able to recall about a particular topic (whether or not it was immediately relevant to the question posed). In many (but, unfortunately, not all) cases, they would then conclude with a single sentence along the lines of ‘this shows/proves/demonstrates that….’, or ‘I therefore agree/disagree with the statement in the question’, or ‘It follows that X has a claim for/should (not) do …’.

THE MYTH OF THE REMEDIAL CONSTRUCTIVE TRUST CHARLIE WEBB* ABSTRACT Remedial constructive trusts are held out as a way for the courts to make better decisions: freed from the strictures of rules, courts would be better positioned to do justice on the facts, tailoring a remedy to the circumstances of the case. If this were true, their rejection in English law would be a serious failing.
