Abstract

The article reviews case law establishing that an express declaration of trust could not be overridden by a common intention constructive trust, contrasting the approach taken in Nilsson v Cynberg [2024] EWHC 2164 (Ch) where it was held that subsequent events gave rise to a common intention constructive trust which was capable of overriding a previous express declaration of trust made by the parties before their separation.
