This case (Parker v Clark [1960] 1 NLR 286) demonstrates that although domestic arrangements are assumed not to create legally-binding obligations (see: Balfour v balfour (1919), Jones vpadav atton (1969)), in some cases this assumption may be overruled by the facts. In this case the arrangement had a significant effect on the lives of the affected parties, and some would have been significantly disadvantaged if the arrangement had not been enforced.

Mrs and Mrs C invited their niece and her husband (Mr and Mrs P) to live in their house free of rent, in return for domestic support. The Ps sold their house and moved in. Later, the Cs tried to evict the Ps, and the Ps took legal action to prevent this. The court held that in this case the severity of the situation allowed the agreement between the Ps and the Cs as a contract.
