“Lack of writing did not necessarily mean that the circumstances of a case were not such as to give rise to a ‘Quistclose’ trust. Stipulation of an exclusive purpose for the loan was not the only circumstance of which the immediate recipient was cognisant and which negated an intention on the part of the payer, to pass away beneficial ownership so as to give rise to a resulting trust in favour of the payer.”

“The provision of public order policing and crowd control, both before and after football matches, on land not owned, possessed or controlled by a football club did not constitute ‘special police services’ within the meaning of section 25(1) of the Police Act 1996, and therefore the police were not entitled to charge the football club for the cost of doing so.”

“The concept of ‘communication to the public’, within the meaning of article 3(1) of Parliament and Council Directive 2001/29/EC covered a re-transmission of the works included in a terrestrial television broadcast where the re-transmission was made by an organisation other than the original broadcaster, by means of an Internet stream made available to subscribers of that other organisation who could receive that re-transmission by logging on to its server, even though those subscribers were within the area of reception of that terrestrial television broadcast and could lawfully receive the broadcast on a television receiver. It was irrelevant that a re-transmission was funded by advertising and was therefore of a profit-making nature and was by an organisation which was acting in direct competition with the original broadcaster.”
