'Stack v Dowden' [2007] UKHL 17, [2007] 2 A.C. 432, is a controversial case for many reasons and its legacy is still being debated. But one aspect of the law concerning co-ownership of the family home that most commentators thought remained unaffected by 'Stack' was the need for detrimental reliance in order to establish a common intention constructive trust. The High Court decision in 'Hudson v Hathway' [2022] EWHC 631 (QB), on appeal from H.H.J. Ralton, therefore was something of a surprise, and an appeal to the Court of Appeal was inevitable. The appeal in 'Hudson v Hathway' [2022] EWCA Civ 1648 was streamed live and watched with anticipation by practitioners and academics alike because it could have changed the landscape of constructive trusts dramatically. It resulted in a Court of Appeal judgment that explained both when common intention constructive trusts can operate to allocate shares in property when there is no form of written instrument, and why they do so.
