Contentious trusts, probate and succession news

July 01, 2020 Archibald v Alexander: constructive trusts may come in different guises

The recent High Court appeal in the case of Archibald v Alexander is a useful reminder that the apparent absence of detriment may not be fatal to the assertion of a constructive trust in respect of jointly owned property. It is also a reminder that a constructive trust may arise outside the confines of the “common intention constructive trust”.

November 19, 2019 Gregory v Ziuzina: successful defence of murder allegations in the Chancery Division (John McLinden QC & John Critchley)

On Monday 18 November 2019, the High Court dismissed proceedings in which the Pring family alleged Julianna Moore had orchestrated the murder of her husband Barry John Pring in Kiev, Ukraine, on 16/17 February 2008. John McLinden QC & John Critchley represented Ms Moore throughout.

February 25, 2019 Relief against the Forfeiture Rule in respect of suicide with the assistance of Dignitas

The criminal offence of assisting or encouraging suicide has recently attracted press coverage and political discussion. That attention focuses on the risks of prosecution and imprisonment, but for many families the financial consequences will be of equal or greater importance.
