The licence held by the defendant was a bare, revocable licence; no enforceable contractual licence for life could be inferred from the evidence; proprietary estoppel failed because there was no clear representation, no proven reliance and no detriment; the licence terminated on the death of the Mother (or at latest upon the demand letter), entitling the plaintiff as sole executor to possession; costs ordered nisi to plaintiff.
