sounding much like they were saying:

Who has the receipt for the purchase and whose name is on it?

Now we are getting somewhere.

Not really.

Even in the unlikely event a receipt was handed over, and the
vanishingly
unlikely event it was kept, do you really think it'd somehow carry legal
weight?

Yes, some. Civil cases are decided on a balance of probabilities.


If for example B's name ws on it, ther would be reasonable evidence the
cash was a gift to him to make the purchase, if Miss A's was on it,
almost a direct contradiction that he was in any way involved in its
ownership.

I mean, dos my putative chauffeur own the car registered to him that I
get him to drive me round in?


AFAIK there is no receipt - let's assume this for the sake of this
discussion.

B's name is on the V5C.

IMO the 'man on the Clapham omnibus' (who is by now fed up of public
transport and wants to buy his own wheels) would assume that B was the
owner.
