‘The dust should now have settled since the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Guest v Guest (2022). However, in exploring recent case law, this article exposes that the rules applied to decide proprietary estoppel cases remain as uncertain as ever. Some commonality can be identified, but only in the persistent favouring of promisors over promisees. This article criticises the practical and theoretical underpinnings of proprietary estoppel and proposes further reform. In particular, the article draws new links from the doctrine of secret trusts to suggest a more just and certain basis for proprietary estoppel’s future application.’

‘Can a moment have heat? As time lacks mass, not literally. Yet we understand the metaphor of the distraction of intense heat. Under pressure, angry, anxious, or upset people say things that they do not really mean. Or, more precisely, they do mean them at that moment of intense heat, but we understand that their words exaggerate their feelings. When the moment has passed and they have had time to cool down, they regret their hot, angry, impulsive insults and decisions.’
