Gillett v Holt
''Gillett v Holt'' () Ch 210 is an English land law case, concerning proprietary estoppel.
==Facts==
In 1956, at age 12, Geoffrey Gillett met Mr Holt, a 38-year-old gentleman farmer at Woodhall Spa golf club and became his caddie and friend. In 1956 he began working on Mr Holt's farm, The Limes, continuing this work over 38 years and in 1971 moved into a farmhouse, The Beeches, which was acquired by Mr Holt’s company, KAHL. Mr Holt had made seven separate representations to Mr Gillett, from 1964 to 1989, as to his eventual inheritance of the farm - such as "all this will be yours" after Mr Gillett brought in his first harvest in 1964 and at the christening of Mr Gillett’s first child in 1971, and "it was all going to be yours anyway" in 1975.
However, in 1995, Mr Holt tried to sack Mr Gillett and remove him from The Beeches and altered his will, removing Mr Gillett as main beneficiary in favour of Mr Wood, met in 1992. Mr Gillett claimed proprietary estoppel, with a view to being able to remain in possession of The Beeches, and acquiring part of The Limes.
The trial judge found against Mr Gillett, applying ''Taylor v Dickens'' () 1 FLR 806, 821, holding that a promise to leave property in a will could not give rise to a proprietary estoppel because wills are inherently revocable. The decision was reversed by the Court of Appeal, rejecting the 'irrevocable promise' approach and adopting a liberal view of the requirement of detriment.
