ABSTRACT
In Westdeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale v Islington BC [1996] AC 669, Lord BrowneWilkinson declared that a resulting trust gives effect to the common intention of the parties. In his Lordship’s opinion this trust arises in two sets of circumstances, namely the purchase of property in the name of another and the existence of surplus trust funds after the trust purpose has been fulfi lled.
