Moore v Moore - Chancery Division
Moore v Moore - Chancery Division
Caroline Shea QC and Ciara Fairley represents successful claimant in £5m proprietary estoppel claim. The High Court has held that a son who had devoted his life to farming, the fourth generation to do so, had an equity over the whole of his father's half interest in the family farming partnership. His detriment in positioning his whole life around the farm was not displaced by that fact his uncle had some years ago transferred his half share in the partnership to the son, because this was not done in satisfaction of the son's equity over the father's share, but rather in anticipation of the promises to the son being fulfilled in due course.
