Today's Highlighted Video Story: Guest and another (Appellant) v Guest (Respondent) - In 2017, Andrew started legal proceedings seeking a declaration of entitlement to a beneficial interest in Tump Farm under the principles of proprietary estoppel. The judge at first instance ruled in his favour finding that an assurance was made to Andrew over many years that he would inherit a substantial share of the farm which he had relied on, working hard on the farm for little financial reward. He ordered that David and Josephine make a lump sum payment to Andrew of 50% of the market value of the farming business and 40% of the market value of Tump Farm. The consequence of that order was that Tump Farm would have to be sold in order to realise the lump sum payable to Andrew. David and Josephine appealed to the Court of Appeal where their appeal was dismissed
