Question

It is common textbook practice to contrast Stilk v Myrick with the not altogether dissimilar case of [ case ]. In the latter, it was not just two crew members who deserted; rather, there had been many desertions, leaving the ship's crew seriously depleted. The captain promised the remaining crew members £40 extra pay if they would complete the voyage. It was held that the promise was binding. It was dangerous to put to sea a ship so undermanned. The seamen were not obliged to do this under their contracts of service and were, therefore, free to enter into a fresh contract, which would include the extra remuneration, for the remaining part of the voyage.

Question

[ case ] FACTS: The captain of a ship promised his crew that, if they shared between them the work of two seamen who had deserted, the wages of the deserters would be shared out between them. HELD: The promise was not binding because the seamen gave no consideration: they were already contractually bound to do any extra work to complete the voyage.

In [ case ], an uncle promised his nephew $5,000 if the nephew would refrain from 'drinking liquor, using tobacco, swearing and playing cards or billiards for money until he should become 21 years of age'. The nephew complied but the defendant, the uncle's executor, refused to make the payment. It was held that the promise was enforceable because the nephew had provided consideration by restricting his lawful freedom of action and there was no information as to how arduous that would have been for him.

Question

[ case ] The testatrix gave her residuary estate to Thomas Harrison ‘for his own use and benefit, as I have full confidence in him, that if I die without lawful issue he will . . . leave the bulk of my said residuary estate’ to specified persons. The use of the words ‘full confidence’ at that time would have been sufficient to create a trust. The court held the phrase ‘the bulk of my estate’ was not sufficiently certain for a trust, so Thomas Harrison took the property absolutely. A trust of an unidentified section of chattels (tangible property) will fail, whereas a trust of an unidentified section of intangible property, such as shares, is valid.

Question

In contrast, a trust of an unidentified section of intangible property is valid: In [ case ], who owned 950 of the 1000 issued shares of a private company, orally declared himself a trustee of 5 per cent of the issued shares. This 5 per cent amounted to 50 shares. This was held to be sufficiently certain even though no particular 50 shares had been identified as subject to the trust, so it was unclear which 900 were retained by Moss. Colin Rimer QC, the judge at first instance, thought it significant that the subject-matter of the trust was intangible, since tangible assets, although apparently similar, may have distinguishing characteristics, for example some bottles of wine might have deteriorated. Intangible property, however, is all the same, provided the shares are of the same class, so there is no need to identify which 50 shares are being held on trust. Whilst Dillon LJ in the Court of Appeal stated that all the shares were identical, he held that the inter vivos trust was valid because there would have been a valid testamentary trust if Moss had died, by will leaving 50 shares for X and the remaining 900 for Y. This analogy is, however, erroneous because such a testator has clearly divested themself of all beneficial ownership in the 950 shares in favour of X and Y between them absolutely entitled to the 950 shares, but Moss was claiming he had not yet divested himself of any identifiable beneficial interest in the shares, To do this he would have had to send his certificate for 950 shares to the company secretary to issue two certificates to Moss, one for 900 and one for 50 so that the latter could then be held on trust for Hunter.

Question

In [ case ], the House of Lords relaxed the test for discretionary trusts, adopting the less strict test which applies to mere powers of appointment. Lord Wilberforce deliberately characterised the powers of trustees of a discretionary trust as ‘trust powers’ because the trustees were under a duty to exercise those powers, while the trustees were under no such duty in respect of mere powers of appointment. Trust powers and powers of appointment were both powers and so should be subject to the same test for certainty. Note; that in a discretionary trust deed the trustees often have a discretionary mere power of appointment (e.g. in favour of charity or another branch of the settlor’s family) that they may or may not exercise as they see fit from time to time, as well as their basic discretionary trust power that they must exercise to distribute income or capital to such beneficiaries as they choose, if they do not choose to exercise their mere power of appointment

Question

[ case ] The Acts of Union between England and Scotland contained some fundamental provisions relating to the preservation of certain aspects of Scottish law and institutions, for example that alterations in private law must be 'for the evident utility of the subjects in Scotland' (article XVIII). This case involved a challenge to a European Community common fisheries policy measure because it gave access to Scottish waters. The complainant argued that this was a change in private law which was not for the 'evident utility' of Scots, as required by the Acts of Union. The court held that access to fisheries was not 'private law' and therefore the measure could not be challenged. However, Lord Keith did not rule out an argument of the kind put forward in situation where it might be more relevant on the facts. The arguments in both the above cases were quite inconclusive. Dicey certainly viewed the Acts of Union as having no higher legal status than any other Act and it is true to say that the UK Parliament has altered many of the principles contained in both the Scottish and Irish Acts of Union. Furthermore, the judicial remarks in McCormick and Gibson were obiter. No Scottish court has actually declared an Act of Parliament to be invalid on the basis that it is inconsistent with the Act of Union.

Question

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 created new rights of access to information and was intended to generate greater openness in government. It superseded the Code of Practice on Access to Government Information, which came into effect in 1994 (with a revised edition in 1997). It commits departments and public and governmental bodies to publish information, but does not confer an entitlement. The Freedom of Information Act covers a range of public authorities, including government departments, the National Assembly for Wales, the Northern Ireland Assembly, local government and National Health Service. An Information Commissioner, to whom the public has direct access, regulates the provisions in the Act. The Act permits people to apply for access to documents, or copies of documents, as well as the information itself. A very valuable insight into the role of the Information Commissioner and the statutory framework regulating the application of the Act can be gained from reading the leading case of R [ case ] relating to the request for disclosure of Prince Charles’s letters to ministers.

Question

However, certain actions claimed to be carried out under the prerogative of 'defence of the realm' may be reviewable. The Supreme Court, in the conjoined appeals of [ case ], held by a majority that the doctrine of combat immunity should be construed narrowly. The claimants in this case, representing UK soldiers killed on active service in Iraq, were claiming, inter alia, that the Ministry of Defence had been negligent in the provision of equipment and training. The court recognised that actions and decisions taken by military commanders in relation to military engagements should not be subject to judicial challenge, because of the danger of 'judicialising warfare'. It did not accept, however, the Ministry's arguments that immunity should apply in relation to failings that were remote from the pressures and uncertainties of the battlefield.

Question

However, certain actions claimed to be carried out under the prerogative of 'defence of the realm' may be reviewable. The Supreme Court, in the conjoined appeals of Smith, Ellis and Allbutt v Ministry of Defence [2013] UKSC 41, held by a majority that the doctrine of combat immunity should be construed narrowly. The claimants in this case, representing UK soldiers killed on active service in Iraq, were claiming, inter alia, that the Ministry of Defence had been negligent in the provision of equipment and training. The court recognised that actions and decisions taken by military commanders in relation to military engagements should not be subject to judicial challenge, because of the danger of 'judicialising warfare'. It did not accept, however, the Ministry's arguments that immunity should apply in relation to [...].

Question

In [ case ], De Keyser's Hotel was required for use by the War Office during the First World War. When negotiations over the amount of rent to be paid broke down, the Army Council took possession compulsorily, under the Defence of the Realm Regulations, which gave the right to full compensation. However, it was later argued by the Army Council that the seizure of property was alternatively authorised by the prerogative, under which there was no right to full compensation. The House of Lords held that the Defence of the Realm Regulations governing the assessment of compensation must be observed. It reasoned that, assuming the prerogative power in question did in fact exist, the Crown could not simply choose whether to act under that power or under statutory authority. Lord Atkinson summed up the position as follows:

'[W]hen a statute, expressing the will and intention of the King and of the three estates of the realm, is passed, it abridges the Royal Prerogative while it is in force to this extent: that the Crown can only do the particular thing under and in accordance with the statutory provisions, and that its prerogative power to do that thing is in abeyance.'

No new prerogatives can come into existence.

This contention was unsuccessful in the Court of Appeal. Lord Diplock stated: 'It is 350 years and a civil war too late for the Queen's courts to broaden the prerogative.' Thus, any prerogative power must originate from the powers possessed by the monarch before the advent of the modern parliamentary system, effectively 1688.

Question

In [ case ], a British citizen residing in Spain, whose passport was about to expire, applied to the British Embassy in Madrid for a new one. The applicant was informed that a passport would not be issued, because a warrant for his arrest had been issued in the UK; it was the policy of the Secretary of State not to issue passports in such circumstances. The Court of Appeal accepted that the issuing of a passport is carried out under a prerogative power. However, following GCHQ, the court maintained that the reviewability in practice of the exercise of a prerogative power depended upon the subject matter of the prerogative in question. The Court of Appeal was not prepared to accept that the issuing of passports came under that form of prerogative power, involving foreign affairs, which was inherently non- justiciable. The Crown and the Royal Prerogative

Taylor LJ stated:

'The majority of their Lordships [in GCHQ] indicated that whether judicial review of the exercise of prerogative power is open depends upon the subject matter and in particular whether it is justiciable. At the top of the scale of executive functions under the prerogative are matters of high policy, of which examples were given by their Lordships; making treaties, making war, dissolving Parliament … Clearly those matters … are not justiciable. But the grant or refusal of a passport is in a quite different category. It is a matter of administrative decision, affecting the rights of individuals and their freedom to travel.'

Although the court found that the decision whether or not to issue the applicant with a passport was one that was susceptible in principle to judicial review, they ultimately held that the Secretary of State's policy was not unlawful because, having properly followed the policy and taken all relevant matters into consideration, he was entitled to come to the decision that he had.

Question

In [ case ], the ratification of the Maastricht treaty by the UK government, an exercise of the treaty-making prerogative power, was challenged by a leading newspaper columnist. He argued, inter alia, that joining a common European Union security system was an unlawful surrender of the Crown's duty to protect the realm. It was further argued that under English common law, the Crown is incapable of abandoning or transferring any of its ancient prerogative powers without statutory enactment. The government argued that the matters raised by the applicant were not justiciable, as treaty-making powers rest with the Crown and their exercise cannot be challenged or questioned in the courts. The court was prepared to assume that, in respect of the government's exercise of prerogative powers in relation to the making of treaties, the courts could consider such matters. Unfortunately for the applicant, however, the court held that the Maastricht treaty did not involve a surrender or transfer of prerogative powers.

They also sought an order to compel the Foreign Office to make a formal request for their release.

Question

As an example, the courts have considered whether there is scope for judicial review of a refusal to render diplomatic assistance to a British subject suffering violation of a fundamental right as the result of the conduct of authorities of a foreign state. In [ case ] the mother of a British citizen detained in Guantanamo Bay brought proceedings to compel the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) to make representations on her son's behalf to the United States government. The Court of Appeal recognised that Abbasi had a legitimate expectation of diplomatic assistance, but that the expectation was very limited and the discretion of the FCO very wide. On the facts, the FCO was seen to have done all that was required of it. However, the court stated that there was no reason in principle why an FCO decision (or inaction by the FCO) could not be reviewable in the future, if it could be shown that a decision or inaction was irrational or contrary to a legitimate expectation. However, the court was quite clear that they could not enter into the 'forbidden areas', which included decisions affecting higher foreign policy itself.

Question

The court's approach in Bentley, in respect of the reviewability of the prerogative of mercy, was adopted in [ case ]. The claimant was a serving prisoner who had provided the police and prison authorities with valuable assistance. As a result, the Home Secretary awarded the claimant three years' remission from his sentence. The claimant's solicitors sought judicial review of this decision, arguing that in pre-sentence cases the length of remission was far greater than that granted to the claimant, who was a serving prisoner. The court agreed that the decision by the Secretary of State to recommend remission in the instant case was a matter amenable to judicial review. The courts regularly had to make decisions about reduction in sentence lengths. On the facts, however, the court held that the exercise of the Home Secretary's prerogative of mercy in this case was different from decisions taken by judges in pre-sentence cases and so the Home Secretary had not acted unlawfully.

Question

The idea was given more modern expression by Montesquieu during the 18th century. He believed that liberty would be best protected if there was a separation of powers into judicial, executive and legislative branches:

'When the legislative and executive powers are united in the same person, or in the same body of magistrates, there can be no liberty ... again, there is no liberty if the power of judging is not separated from the legislative and the executive. If it were joined with the legislative, the life and liberty of the subject would be exposed to arbitrary control; for the judge would then be the legislator. If it were joined to the executive power, the judge might behave with violence and oppression. There would be an end to everything, if the same man, or the same body, whether of the nobles, or of the people, were to exercise those three powers, that of enacting laws, that of executing public affairs and that of trying crimes or individual causes. Any society in which the safeguarding of rights is not assured, and the separation of powers is not observed, has no constitution.' Montesquieu, [...],(1689-1755)

The formal view of the rule of law is that, for there to be government under the law, laws must adhere to certain procedural requirements.

Parliament can also create legislation that changes aspects of the constitution. In [ case ], the validity of the Irish Church Act 1869 was challenged by a priest on the grounds that it disestablished his church in Ireland contrary to the Act of Union with Ireland (1800). This argument was rejected by the court, Cockburn CJ stating that:

'There is no judicial body in this country by which the validity of an Act of Parliament could be questioned. An Act of Legislature is superior in authority to any court of law. We have only to administer the law as we find it, and no court could pronounce judgment as to the validity of an Act of Parliament.'

In [ case ], a Scottish Nationalist raised an objection to the designation of the new monarch as Queen Elizabeth the Second. He argued that, as a matter of fact, the first Queen Elizabeth had been Queen of England but not of Scotland. The application was dismissed on other grounds but Lord Cooper stated, obiter:

'The principle of the unlimited sovereignty of parliament is a distinctively English principle which has no counterpart in Scottish Constitutional law ... Considering that the Union legislation extinguished the parliaments of Scotland and England and replaced them by a new parliament, I have difficulty in seeing why it should have been supposed that the new parliament of Great Britain must inherit all the peculiar characteristics of the English parliament, as if all that happened in 1707 was that Scottish representatives were admitted to the Parliament of England.

Question

The subjective element was discussed by the House of Lords in [ case ]. Here Twinsectra had loaned Yardley £1 million, paying it to his solicitor, Sims, who gave a written undertaking to Twinsectra’s solicitors that the money was to be used solely for acquiring property (immovables) for Yardley and for no other purpose. Sims transferred the money to Yardley’s other solicitor, Leach, who knew of Sims’ undertaking but yet used the money on Yardley’s instructions for other purposes. Leach knew that he was using the money for an unauthorised purpose, but thought that Sims was merely under a contractual obligation to Twinsectra not a Quistclose purpose trust obligation. The House of Lords held that the money was held on trust only to be used for acquiring property but (Lord Millett dissenting) appeared to hold that since Leach was not himself subjectively aware that what he was doing was something that the ordinary reasonable person would think was dishonest, he had rightfully had the case against him dismissed by the trial judge, whom the Court of Appeal had reversed, Lord Millett applied an objective test. Leach, a solicitor, had knowingly participated in arrangements which he knew to be an unauthorised use of the money in breach of Sims’ undertaking as a solicitor to Twinsectra’s solicitors. Leach was liable, regardless of whether or not he appreciated that the ordinary reasonable person would consider his knowing mishandling of the money (at the very least in breach of Sims’ contractual undertaking) as dishonest. The majority, whilst expressing approval for the Privy Council’s advice in Tan, appeared to have changed the test for dishonesty to the more subjective criminal test, so that not only must the defendant have done something that right- thinking people would consider dishonest, he must have been aware that they would so view his conduct. Lord Millett strongly dissented.

Question

Court of Appeal in [ case ] has reluctantly confirmed that the rule is still good law, although subject to any contrary intention which the courts are ready to find. The rationale for this, as explained by Dillon LJ, is that the rule has been enshrined in English law for so long that it can only be replaced by a House of Lords (presumably now a Supreme Court) judgment. The case concerned the collapse of the Barlow Clowes investment company in Gibraltar. Investors had paid into investment plans, but the money had been stolen and the company was left owing £115m with assets of far less than that. Some investors argued that the rules in Re Clayton’s Case should be applied. This would mean that the later investors would recover nearly all their money, and the earlier investors, nothing. Woolf LJ held: ‘The rule need only be applied when it is convenient to do so and when its application can be said to do broad justice having regard to the nature of the competing claims. It is not applied if this is the intention or presumed intention of the beneficiaries. The rule is sensibly not applied when the costs of applying it is likely to exhaust the fund available for the beneficiaries.’ On the facts of the case it was decided that the investment fund was regarded by the investors as a common pool, and that they should share rateably in what remained because they had experienced a common misfortune. Accordingly, the court ordered a rateable distribution among the claimants who were investors.

Question

the availability of the defence does not depend upon the assets bought and subsequently consumed having any extraordinary characteristics in themselves. In [ case ], two backing musicians to Phil Collins were overpaid royalties from the sale of records. They used this money to supplement their everyday standard of living. Jonathan Parker J held the change of position defence could apply as although the assets acquired were of an everyday nature to the defendants, the amount they had acquired and the expense they had consequently incurred was extraordinary.

Question

Similarly, in [ case ], Goulding J held that a person who paid money to another under a mistake of fact retained an equitable interest and the conscience of the payee was subjected to a fiduciary duty to respect that interest. The decision in Chase Manhattan was discussed in the House of Lords in Westdeutsche, where the judge’s reasoning was doubted in holding that the Israel-British Bank held the additional $2,000,000 on constructive trust when it knew of the mistake made by Chase Manhattan. Lord Browne-Wilkinson at p 715 said that mere receipt gave rise to no trust but the retention of the moneys after the receiving bank learned of the mistake ‘may well have given rise to a constructive trust’ which allowed a claim in equity, being, it seems, a personally liability to account as a constructive trustee under the knowing receipt head

Question

In [ case ], the next of kin sued the executors and also the charities themselves for the return of the money. The action against the executors was compromised with the court’s approval, the executors agreeing to repay £15,000 of the £203,000 out of their own pockets. The next of kin sought to recover the balance from the charities concerned. The right to trace and make a proprietary claim in equity was considered at length by the Court of Appeal in Re Diplock, in case their decision on the availability of a personal claim (see later) was reversed by the House of Lords. However, the House of Lords affirmed their decision on the personal claim and did not consider it necessary to discuss the proprietary claim.

He then spent £2137 to buy some Oceana shares for himself when he was not entitled to do this unless and until he had restored the £3000 to the trust, so he could not claim entitlement to the shares. He dissipated the rest of the money in the account.

In [ case ], however, the claimant (strictly speaking her personal representative) was not allowed a proportionate share of a house bought by the deceased female trustee, apparently inadvertently using some trust money in her account, before she died leaving enough in her residuary estate to cover the amount of the claim. Ungoed-Thomas J was kind to the elderly woman, seemingly regarding her as an ‘innocent’ trustee so that since she could have bought the house without recourse to the trust money, no proportionate share was permitted (though the judge admitted that he would have imposed a lien over the house to secure the money claim if requested). This approach seems fair for innocent volunteers who would have used their own money if they had realised that some of the money being used was trust money, but Mrs Tilley was trustee of her husband’s estate for herself for life remainder for her claimant daughter- and Mrs Tilley was a successful businesswoman

Question

It is noticeable that both Tilley and Turner were family disputes that were most unlikely to be appealed, so that, perhaps, the judges allowed themselves a little leeway on the merits of the case , feeling it inequitable to allow the claimant a proportionate share. In Shalson the assets of the claimant had been appropriated by a wrongdoer, who had ultimately dissipated large amounts of the mixed fund. In this sort of scenario it makes sense for the innocent party to be able to claim the wrongdoer used their own assets on these dissipations as far as possible. This dovetails with the general rule of evidence in [ case ] that evidential uncertainty created by wrongdoing will be resolved against the wrongdoer.

Question

A trustee has £2,000 of his own money in his deposit account. He puts in £3,000 of Trust B’s money and then £6,000 of Trust C’s money. He spends £6,000 on shares which are now worth £12,000. He then dissipates the remaining £5,000. Later he pays in £1,000.
First look at the situation between the trustee and the trust funds and apply Re Oatway as the later funds are dissipated. This means the £6,000 spent on shares will all be money from the two trusts rather than the trustee’s own money. Then look at the situation between the two trusts. They share rateably ([ case ]), so Trust B has 1/3 rd of the shares (now worth £4,000) and Trust C has 2/3 rd of the shares (now worth £8,000). The dissipated money includes £2,000 from the trustee’s money, £1,000 from Trust B and £2,000 from Trust C. This trust money cannot be replaced by the later payment in of £1,000 (Roscoe v Winder).

Question

A trustee pays £3,000 of Trust X’s money into his current account which was previously empty. He then pays in £2,000 of his own money and then £5,000 of Trust Y’s money. He withdraws £2,000 and dissipates it. He then withdraws £3,000 and dissipates that money as well. There is £5,000 left in the account.

Question

The Court of Appeal in Re Diplock held that, where money is wrongly paid out in the administration of an estate, a personal action is available against those who received the money. This was affirmed by the House of Lords on appeal where the case became [ case ]. As a result, the next of kin were able to use the personal action to recover the balance of the Diplock money (£203,000 less £15,000 paid by the executors from their own pockets) from the charities even where proprietary claims were not possible. The Court of Appeal stated that this remedy is subject to two limitations:

The unpaid beneficiaries should firstly sue the personal representative who has acted wrongly, the beneficiaries’ personal claim against those overpaid, or wrongly paid, being limited to the amount which cannot be recovered from the personal representative.
The entitlement is to claim the principal sum only, not the interest on it. In Re Diplock, which was affirmed by Ministry of Health v Simpson, no defence was allowed to the personal claim.

However since then the House of Lords has developed the defence of change of position in Lipkin Gorman v Karpnale and it is generally accepted that this defence would be applicable to such a claim.

Question

[ case ]
FACTS: This case involved a conspiracy to effect an escape from prison. The defendant, who was about to be released from prison agreed to supply a fellow prisoner with equipment to cut through the cell bars. He did not succeed in doing so as shortly after being released from prison he was injured in a car crash. Anderson admitted that he intended to supply the cutting equipment, but argued in his defence that he never intended the plan to be carried out and that he did not believe that it could succeed.
HELD: The House of Lords said that this was irrelevant, and they confirmed the conviction.
Lord Bridge said that Parliament could not have intended such a person to escape liability on the basis of lack of intent:

'I am clearly driven to reject any construction of the statutory language which would require the prosecution to prove an intention on the part of each conspirator that the criminal offence which will necessarily be committed by one or more of the conspirators if the agreed course of conduct is fully carried out should in fact be committed.'

However, the Court of Appeal has appeared to overlook Lord Bridge's dicta on several occasions, preferring to follow the wording from the statute. Anderson is not likely to be applied by in the future, because it is clearly wrong.

'We think it obvious that Lord Bridge cannot have been intending that the organiser of a crime who recruited others to carry it out would not himself be guilty of conspiracy unless it could be proved that he intended to play some active part himself thereafter. The nub of the offence of conspiracy consists of the agreement to do the unlawful act, and that may mean that you are doing it yourself actively or that you are agreeing that somebody else should do it actively. In either event, you are guilty of conspiracy.' (Per O'Connor LJ.)
