Lloyds Bank plc v Carrick and another

Language: English Series: All England Law Reports ; [1996] 4 All ER 630-642(7)Publication details: 1996Subject(s): Summary: CA 28 February 1996. AR sold her home and paid the proceeds to her brother- in-law C, in return for moving into a maisonette which he held on a long lease. Title was unregistered, and the lease remained in C`s name, whilst AR was responsible for all outgoings on the property. In 1986 C charged the property to L without telling them that AR was living there. When, in 1991, L sought repayment of monies owed and subsequent possession, C claimed he held the property as bare trustee for AR. L claimed that AR`s interest was as an unregistered estate contract and was void against L. L`s appeal against an earlier decision that there was no registrable interest, was upheld.
