Bruton, Ogden

Bruton and Ogden refer to two important legal cases in the UK that dealt with the interpretation of property rights, particularly related to trusts and how assets are managed upon a person’s death. The Bruton case clarified that a person can hold a property in trust without having formal legal ownership, while the Ogden case focused on the calculation of damages in personal injury claims. Together, these cases help outline how the law addresses ownership and compensation, affecting how individuals and courts handle property and injury claims in various situations.
