A resulting trust arises from financial contribution to the purchase price, creating a proportionate beneficial interest. A constructive trust is based on common intention (express or inferred) and detrimental reliance, with shares determined by what is fair or by surveying the course of dealings.
Proprietary estoppel requires a belief (not necessarily an agreement) that the claimant will acquire an interest, plus detrimental reliance. Remedies are flexible and proportionate, whereas constructive trusts require an agreement or inferred intention and focus on quantifying shares.
Under Lloyd's Bank v Rosset Situation 2, only direct financial contributions to the purchase price establish the interest. However, once established, the court may consider non-financial contributions (e.g., household work) when quantifying the share, as seen in Midland Bank v Cooke.
Remedies include transfer of ownership, repayment of money spent, the right to live in the property for life, or an award equal to the value of what the claimant lost. The remedy must be proportionate to the detriment suffered.
Courts may apply the 'fair' approach from Oxley v Hiscock or survey the whole course of dealings to determine the parties' intentions, as in Stack v Dowden. Both methods consider financial and non-financial contributions.
