Lohia and Another v Lohia: ChD 7 Sep 2000

Land was transferred from son to his father with no consideration expressed. The father died and the son claimed that the absence of consideration meant that the house was to be held upon trust for the donor and donee as beneficial joint tenants in equal shares, and that accordingly upon the death of the father he was entitled to his share.
Held: The section was clear and that a conveyance for nil value meant what it said. A person seeking to establish a resulting trust had to prove it. The voluntary conveyance was effective in the terms in which it was expressed.
