Hi, i have a query which you may be able to help me with. so in the case of Dobson v Griffey, you speak on their being no agreement nor detrimental reliance, which means it does not satisfy the express agreement from Rosset, however, you also speak on there being a trust inferred from their conduct, as in the inferred trust from Rosset. Was the case argued on both elements from Rosset, or just the 1? many thanks
