Grant V Edwards
Grant v Edwards was an English Court of Appeal case on common intention constructive trusts. It applied the decision in '' Eves v Eves'' 975and widened its effect to a 50% share in many future contributory common intention constructive trusts, where also an express intention is shown to have put the house into joint names, never fulfilled. Facts A house was purchased for the claimant and defendant to live in as if married. The plaintiff was in fact married to someone else and the house was purchased in the name of the defendant and the defendant's brother. The defendant had used words to the effect that, by way of explanation to the plaintiff, he would not put the claimants name into a title deed ("On the deeds") yet as it would be prejudicial towards matrimonial proceedings between the claimant and her husband ("your divorce").

Common Intention
In trust law, a constructive trust is an equitable remedy imposed by a court to benefit a party that has been wrongfully deprived of its rights due to either a person obtaining or holding a legal property right which they should not possess due to unjust enrichment or interference, or due to a breach of fiduciary duty, which is intercausative with unjust enrichment and/or property interference. It is a type of implied trust (''i.e.'', it is created by conduct, not explicitly by a settlor). In the United States (in contrast to England), a constructive trust remedy generally does not recognize or create any continuing fiduciary relationship — that is, a constructive trust is not actually a trust except in name. Rather, it is a fiction declaring that the plaintiff has equitable title to the property at issue, and ordering the defendant to transfer legal ownership and possession to the plaintiff. For instance, in some states the slayer rule is implemented in the form of a constru ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''Eves v Eves'' 975EWCA Civ 3 is an English land law case, concerning constructive trusts of the family home. Facts Mr Eves bought a home and kept the legal title in his name using the proceeds of his old home and a mortgage loan.
