Contentious probate update 2022 - Bath

St John’s Chambers and RWK Goodman are delighted to invite you to their annual contentious probate update seminar held in association with Stone King.

The seminar aims to bring practitioners up to speed with all the latest developments in the world of contentious probate. It is principally targeted at solicitors who are (or would like to be) involved in contentious probate work, but it would also be of interest to non-contentious lawyers, Will writing firms and professional executors.

Topics include:

• Fraudulent calumny and undue influence: suspicions of foul play
  Amanda Noyce, Partner, RWK Goodman
• Hughes v Pritchard [2022] 3 WLR 153 – testamentary capacity in the Court of  Appeal
  Alex Troup, Head of Wills & Trusts, St John’s Chambers
• Hot topics: the essential recent cases every contentious probate practitioner needs to know about
  Oliver Wooding, Barrister, St John’s chambers
• Put up or shut up’ orders following Parsons v Reid [2022] EWHC 755 (Ch)
  Luke Watson, Partner, Stone King
• Rectification: not quite such an open and shut case
  Calum Campbell, Senior Associate, RWK Goodman
• Proprietary estoppel – quantifying the equity in light of the Supreme Court’s judgment in Guest v Guest
  Christopher Jones, Barrister, St John’s Chambers

There will be an opportunity at the end of the seminar for questions and answers as well as a chance to catch up with the speakers for drinks and nibbles.
