Whincup v Hughes [1871] LR 6 CP 78
Judgement for the case Whincup v Hughes
Table Of Contents
Plaintiff paid Defendant to teach his son for 6 years, but after one year Defendant died and Plaintiff claimed the remaining money for then next 5 years back from the executors.
The court rejected his claim on the grounds that money paid under a contract for which some (although not all) consideration has been given cannot generally be reclaimed and that partial failure does not allow for recovery.
