Willmott v Barber

Willmott v Barber, (1880) 15 Ch D 96, is an 1880 English case decided by Justice Edward Fry.

[1] The plaintiff, Willmott, was suing two defendants, John Barber and William Bowyer.

Therefore, allowing him to refuse consent would work a gross fraud upon the plaintiff.

Fourthly, the plaintiff must have proof that the land owner was aware of his title.

For example, in Desoto Resources Limited v. Encana Corporation,[2] 2010 ABQB 448, the Alberta Court of Queen's Bench cites it as the "classic statement of the constituent elements of estoppel by acquiescence."
