However, in the case of Merritt v. Merritt (1970) the presumption was rebutted by
evidence from the circumstances surrounding the case. The presence of a written note
signed by the husband and the wife paid the installments of the house were evidence
that the parties intended the agreement to have legal consequences. The wife
succeeded to have the house transferred to her as promised.
In commercial and business agreements the general rule is that there
is always the presence of intention to create legal relations - Esso Petroleum
Co. Ltd v Customs and Excise Commissioner (1976). This presumption is also
rebuttable if the parties clearly express that it is not intended to be legally binding.
