Q
Burgess v Rawnsley
- date
- facts
- significance
A
- 1975
- Honick and Rawnsley were joint tenants and agreed that R will sell her share to Honick for £750
- R changes her mind and wanted a higher price
- H dies -> H’s son (B) claims that joint tenancy was severed in equity, R claims that it wasn’t, she gets H’s share on survivorship
- there was no contract in writing -> was there a sufficient agreement before death?
- IF common intention was demonstrated, an informal, oral agreement will suffice to sever even if the agreement is later revoked -> Sir John Pennycuick
- BUT difficult case because Denning argued the reason C loses is because of course of dealing, not mutual agreement
both agree that severance had occurred - don’t agree on how it occurred
