Question and options

Which of the following Cases-Concepts pair relating to Transfer of property Act is incorrect?
  1. Cooper v. Cooper - Doctrine of election explained
  2. Edwards v. Hammond - Fulfillment of condition precedent in transfer of property
  3. Whitby v. Mitchell - Rule against perpetuity
  4. Tulk v. Moxhay - Inheritance by minor

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D - Tulk v. Moxhay - Inheritance by minor
Cooper v Cooper (doctrine of election), Edwards v Hammond (condition precedent) and Whitby v Mitchell (rule against perpetuity / double possibilities) are correctly paired. Tulk v Moxhay concerns restrictive covenants running with land, not inheritance by a minor, so the pair 'Tulk v. Moxhay - Inheritance by minor' is incorrect.
