Key Principle

For a Quistclose trust to arise over money transferred for an exclusive purpose, it must be objectively verifiable, at the time the funds are applied, whether they have been applied for that purpose; where invested money becomes partnership capital usable for any purpose authorised by the partnership deed, the exclusive-purpose constraint ends and no continuing Quistclose trust subsists.
