Registration 1.45 p.m.

A lecture by ALASTAIR BRIERLEY of  Turnbull Garrard on

Wills & Trusts – Recent Developments

(3 CPD points)

Alastair invites us to find out about some of the following:

·      The solicitor who enjoyed his wife’s chicken soup (Sherrington v Sherrington 2004)

·      The owner of a condemned bungalow who lived a simple life but who got the better of his sophisticated ‘friends’(Macklin v Dowsett 2004)

·      The Hampshire pig farmer who lived in Dickensian conditions with 30 cats and 3 dogs (Murphy v Burrows 2004)

·      The deaf nonagenarian with a penchant for the poetry of Woodbine Willie (Buckenham v Dickinson 2000)

·      The former waiter from Bloom’s who would never be short of a kidney (Fuller v Strum 2001)

·      The acrimonious dispute between two barristers, one of whom forgot to file his tax return for 10 years (Cox v Jones 2004)

·      the solicitor who sat on a probate file for (a mere) five years (Chappell v Somers and Blake 2003),

and much, much more!

Those who have attended Alastair’s previous lectures will know how entertaining and instructive they are.  Those who have not may be assured that it will be an afternoon of vital information and fun!

In Alastair’s words:   

“Come and laugh, cry, groan and be scandalised whilst earning 3 CPD points.”
