Farrer v. Miller 2018 EWCA CIV 172 - Court of Appeal win
CANDEY acts on behalf of a client who entered into a joint venture with his former business partner concerning the development and sale of lucrative development land. Our client alleges that the Defendant secretly misappropriated the property for his own profit. In an important recent Court of Appeal judgment, CANDEY successfully advised its client regarding the availability and scope of equitable remedies in circumstances where the contractual documents did not comply with statutory requirements regarding the transfer of land. We defeated the Defendant’s appeal with regard to the equitable principles of constructive trusts and proprietary estoppel, and successfully cross-appealed in respect of our client’s claim for breach of fiduciary duty.
The Defendant has appealed to the Supreme Court. Richard Singleton is lead partner.
