ISSUE:
Whether a fiduciary relationship gives rise to a presumption of undue influence?
RULE:
When there is a fiduciary or influential relationship (such as a religious leader and a devotee), the law presumes undue influence when one party makes a large, voluntary gift to the other.
The person in the dominant position must prove that the transaction was the result of free, informed, and independent consent of the donor.
A person who claims relief from an undue influence transaction must act promptly after being freed from the influence, if not done so, he may be devoid of claiming the compensation.
Principle that equity does not assist those who delay in asserting their rights.
