The interpretation of a testator’s Will was challenged by the RSPCA as residuary beneficiary which caused the judge to comment that the charity’s claim was “extremely weak and should not have been brought”. However, the charity argued that all it was trying to do was to honour what it believed was the deceased’s intention.
Membership Benefits
As a member of the LawSkills community there's so much more than at first meets the eye:
My Blog, Steel Snippets, is much longer than the one paragraph you see on the home page. I comment on hot topics of the moment and highlight how they affect you, the practitioner. Each blog is approximately 1500 words and I hope they will help you get a handle on the 'buzz' in the marketplace.
Glossary is so much more than the A-Z lexicon you see as a non-member. On each topic there are detailed notes on the subject and practice notes for lawyers to look out for.
Podcasts are only available to members and there are two currently available - both 30 minutes long and you can enhance this CPD to 1 hour if you take the short test at the end of listening to the podcast: Choose from:
