- Cobbe v Yeoman's Row Management Ltd [2008] UKHL 55 is a House of Lords case in English land law and relates to proprietary estoppel in the multi-property developer context. The court of final appeal awarded the project manager £150,000 on a quantum meruit basis for unjust enrichment because Yeoman's Row had received the benefit of his services without paying for that. The court refused to find or acknowledge a binding contract, prior arrangement with a third party or promise (such as would be necessary for proprietary estoppel or for a constructive trust), overturning a £2m award on the basis of a possible lien arising from a promise over the property. The court found a non-binding agreement in principle, entirely subject to the owner's final say to take into account for example their view of the market; this was the basis on the facts on which the parties were proceeding. Lord of Appeal in Ordinary, Lord Walker, with whom the other four Lords agreed adjudged that Cobbe "ran a commercial risk with his eyes open. This was commerce." (en)
