In Roscoe v Winder [1913] 1 Ch 62, the plaintiffs sold their business to Mr Wigham and it was agreed that he should collect in certain debts on their behalf. He did this and paid £450 into his account. He then withdrew money from the account leaving £26. Later, he died leaving £360 in the account. The court held that the plaintiffs’ proprietary claim over the account was limited to the lowest intermediate balance of £26. Sargant J said that later payments into the account would only be presumed to be repayments to the trust where the trustee shows such an intention and he gave the example of the trustee repaying money into a separate account opened for the trust.
