Burton and Another v FX Music Ltd and Another; Taube v FX Music Ltd: ChD 8 Jul 1999

To decide that a party had made itself a trustee of a promise, the court had first to look at whether the person making the promise had indicated he had intended such. Once clear instructions had been evidenced, and payments made, the court would be reluctant to find that no trust had been created. Letters requesting payment of royalties had been acted upon.
