Divorce
HA v WA and another [2022] EWFC 110, [2022] All ER (D) 37 (Sep)
The Family Court decided on the issue of beneficial ownership of two flats, the two flats comprising one premises (the new flat) in financial remedy proceedings brought by the husband against the wife. The husband argued that the premises belonged both legally and beneficially to the wife, in whose name the flats were registered. However, the wife and her brother (B) argued that the flats were beneficially owned by B. Accordingly, B had been joined to the proceedings as the second respondent. The court held, among other things, that B had discharged the burden of proof upon him and that on the facts it was the common intention of the wife and B that B alone should hold the beneficial interest in the new flat and that accordingly the wife held the premises on trust for him.
