On the facts the court found the parties agreed in November 2000 that the plaintiff and his daughter could occupy the flat until the daughter completed her studies in consideration of the plaintiff paying the mortgage and outgoings; that arrangement was a licence to occupy and did not evidence a common intention that the plaintiff obtain a beneficial interest; contemporaneous documents and objective evidence contradicted the plaintiff's story; accordingly no express, resulting or constructive trust arose and the plaintiff's claim is dismissed.
