I’ve got parental duty so can’t do a full note on Jones v Kernott [2011] UKSC 53 now.  The headlines, though, are:

(a) Ms Jones won the appeal so that her 90% share in the disputed property was re-instated;

(b) the UKSC agree on the outcome but there is disagreement on the principles (esp Lord Wilson with Lord Kerr somewhere between);

(c) the majority, in essence, follow Stack but, it might be said, with a slight change of emphasis or, more politely, with more explanation about inferring/imputing shares;

(d) Lord Walker and Baroness Hale, who gave a joint judgment, engage with academic commentary on Stack.  The key paragraph in their judgment may come to be seen as the summary of the relevant principles at [52] but it will need to be remembered that this is a summary and that the meat is in the rest of the judgment.

More later tonight, hopefully …
