This case talks about the idea of coming about trusts, puncturing of corporate shroud and fair exclusive cures concerning English Family Law[9]. For this situation, Ms Yasim Prest had made a case under the arrangements of area 23 and 24 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 for an auxiliary alleviation against an organization that was completely claimed by her significant other Mr. Michale Prest. As indicated by the petitioner, the spouse had legitimate title concerning the properties gainfully possessed by him, which incorporated a house worth 4million.
