Williams v Williams [2024] EWCA Civ 42 - CoA: Stack presumption of beneficial JT doesn’t apply where property bought by family for business purposes. Appears likely the law will also presume intent to own in proportion to £ contributions in these cases https://t.co/fEUxvYwmOQ

A salutary reminder that an allegation that a loan agreement between a H/W and 3rd party is a sham is tantamount to an allegation of fraud. Failure to make out your claim will sound in costs on the indemnity basis in favour of BOTH - even in a ‘clean sheet’ family case.

@JoDQC @A1annaWalsh Someone much tech-savvier than I worked out that if you email the image to yourself and select size ‘small’, this seems to resolve the issue, without needing to doing anything fancy with pixels
Huge thanks to everyone who joined us for the PLP conference today. It was an absolute pleasure to meet many new faces, and to share some thoughts on the Efficiency Statement and recent Mostyn J judgments on transparency in the FRC
Filled to the brim with pride that this week I accepted tenancy with the simply marvellous @ParklanePlowden. I owe more gratitude than words can do justice to to @ED_Barrister@GraziaNelson for their unerring patience, guidance & inspiration as supervisors. Now for some bubbly!
For any CICT enthusiasts - my note on Hudson v Hathway: how much concern should there be about potential for abuse of power/trust in cohab relationships now HC has suggested an express agreement without more is sufficient to alter beneficial shares between joint-name owners…?
Case note from Parklane Plowden Family Finance pupil @harrietstacey4 on recent decision Hudson v Hathway [2022] EWHC 631 (QB) on common intention constructive trusts in joint names cases– Does this mark the end of detrimental reliance?

Interesting case involving whether W should receive an award in excess of post-nup agreement. Held coercive and controlling behaviour would plainly be an example of undue pressure, but not found on facts #edgar#radmacher https://t.co/9r7v0THpmM
