    Proprietary estoppel and priority of payment
    2007-09-30

    The defendant supplied drink to the owner of a club, the cost of which was secured by a charge over the club premises. The owner wished to re-finance his debt to the defendant and took a remortgage with the claimant to be secured as a fist legal charge on both the club and the owner’s house. Part of the remortgage monies were paid to the defendant in partial satisfaction of the sums outstanding. Both the claimant and defendant were granted legal charges over the house.

    The parties’ intentions
    2007-07-18

    MB had been the secured tenant of a property in which she lived with B, and which she had bought at a substantial discount. The property was conveyed into the joint names of MB and B as joint tenants. Although MB’s mortgage company had insisted the property be in joint names, she claimed that the intention had always been that B would only have a minimal interest in it. He had made no contribution to the purchase price, mortgage repayments or household expenses. When MB had ascertained the effect of the joint tenancy, she gave notice of severance to B.

In June 1992, it made a further formal demand specifically relying on the mortgage. One of the borrowers was subsequently made bankrupt. Periodically, the bank informed the borrowers that they continued to be liable and made demands for payment and referred to the mortgage.
