Taylors Fashions Ltd v Liverpool Victoria Trustees Co Ltd
[1982] QB 133 (Note); [1981] 1 All ER 897; [1979] EWHC Ch 1 (Ch D)
Key Principle
Proprietary estoppel does not require satisfaction of the rigid five probanda of Willmott v Barber; the unifying question is whether, in all the circumstances, it would be unconscionable for the party to deny the assumption that, knowingly or unknowingly, he allowed or encouraged the other to rely on to its detriment.
