Fowler v Barron [2008] EWCA Civ 377

Judgement for the case Fowler v Barron

Table Of Contents

  • B had made the vast majority of payments towards a house that was in both his and F’s name and therefore attempted to overturn the presumption that joint ownership means a 50-50 share in the property.

  • CA denied this, emphasising how heavy the presumptions set out in Stack v Dowden are.

  • Unlike in Stack, F and B pooled all their assets and it takes more than merely the majority of financial contribution to overturn the presumption.
