Facts

A person provided money to purchase a legal estate in land in the name of another person, and there was no evidence that the purchaser intended to advance a loan or make a gift. It was therefore assumed that the legal title holder holds the property on resulting trust for the person who provided the funds.

Judgment

Eyre CB stated "the trust of a legal estate, whether freehold, copyhold, or leasehold; whether taken in the names of the purchasers and other jointly, or in the names of others without that of the purchaser; whether in the one name or several; whether jointly or successive - results to the man who advances the purchase-money".
