(b) the recovery of title trust other than re-donation;
(See the judgment of the court of first instance) It seems that taking the name of shares in the name of the wife is not a donation but a title trust, and it is reasonable to view that changing the name of the plaintiff also constitutes a recovery of title trust, not a second donation.
