Proprietary estoppel � adult son working in family business with father and uncle � alleged promise of a small garage from which he could carry on own business as well as assist in family business � factual issues arising as to whether promise made, reliance and detriment � was it unconscionable for the promissors� successor not to transfer the freehold to the adult son almost 30 years later.

In this reference, Mr Steven Waghorn (�Steven�), the respondent, claims an interest by virtue of proprietary estoppel in a small single unit garage (�the garage�) owned by Mrs Maureen Waghorn (�Maureen�), the applicant. The garage was at sometime used by Steven as a motor vehicle body repair and paint-spraying workshop. Maureen denies this claim to an interest.
The garage forms a very small part of a substantial area of land in Crayford, Kent. I shall refer to the whole area of land as �the site�. Maureen is now the sole registered freehold proprietor of the site under title number SGL433404.
