On the evidence, the presumption of a resulting trust was rebutted by evidence of an intention to gift: after the 1991 purchase the parties were co‑owners so beneficial ownership remained joint; after the 2010 transfer the plaintiff's words, subsequent conduct and use of the property for the son's business financing established that the plaintiff intended to vest beneficial ownership in the son/company so the defendant company holds the beneficial interest; the son's late, unsupported application to conduct advocacy was refused and only permission to act as a McKenzie friend was granted.
