Proprietary estoppel is a doctrine of considerable antiquity, which, while the subject of considerable judicial development in the nineteenth century, lurked in a degree of obscurity until interest in the subject was revived comparatively recently. Estoppel is seen as having two main forms; in land law, it has long been accepted that estoppel can operate directly to found a cause of action. When operating in this way, the doctrine is referred to as proprietary estoppel, which is the focus of this chapter. It first considers the origin of the doctrine before turning to equitable estoppel, estoppel and other concepts, and estoppel and third parties. ...Less

This chapter looks at another way of acquiring an interest in land, through the doctrine of proprietary estoppel. It discusses the two-stage process of acquiring an interest in land through proprietary estoppel: establishing an equity and satisfying the equity. It explains the three main elements that need to be proved to establish the equity. These are assurance, reliance, and detriment, and it gives case law examples of where these have been considered. It considers the wide range of remedies that may be awarded at the court’s discretion. It then looks at some interesting recent developments in proprietary estoppel and addresses an overarching element of proprietary estoppel claims: unconscionability. Finally, it examines the differences between the constructive trust and proprietary estoppel. ...Less

The family home is the key property asset that most family members will own in their lifetimes. However, many people living together in a home do not give any real thought to whether the property is owned between them, or what would happen if they separated. This chapter explores the reasons why cohabitants do not often think through their entitlements to the property, and why the law has been slow to provide redress to them. It considers the rules applicable to the application of trusts and proprietary estoppel to aid cohabitants, as well as critiques them. It also examines the practical impact of the remedies provided by outlining what happens when property is to be sold. Finally, it considers the many attempts at law reform and why they have, to date, failed to reach the statute books. ...Less

Titles in the Complete series combine extracts from a wide range of primary materials with clear explanatory text to provide readers with a complete introductory resource. This chapter on proprietary estoppel discusses the following: the principle of estoppels; the key elements of proprietary estoppel; the importance of the principle of unconscionability; the need for a clear representation or acquiescence; the different types of detriment; the flexibility of an equitable remedy; and the similarities and differences between a proprietary estoppel and a constructive trust. Estoppel seems to offer an exception to the normal rules of legal formality—ie transactions involving land require writing—and so provides a classic example of equity moderating the harshness of the law. ...Less

This chapter examines the relation among common intention constructive trusts, proprietary estoppel, and licences. It explains the principle and legal definitions of these three and suggests that their relation arose out of the courts' view that a claimant should have a remedy in circumstances in which it was at least doubtful whether he or she was entitled to one under existing rules as previously understood. The chapter analyses court rulings in several related cases and considers the Pallant v Morgan equity case. ...Less
