Tarboush v Cassam [2024] EWHC 639 (KB)
Andrew represented the Claimant/Applicant in respect of a wasted costs application against his previous solicitors in a personal injury claim. The former solicitors accepted negligence in principle, but denied that the wasted costs jurisdiction was the appropriate forum. The case was heard in the High Court (King’s Bench Division) at the RCJ, and has been widely reported.
L v B and Others
A 1975 Act claim between four siblings, whose father died intestate. Andrew represented the First and Third Defendants at trial. Submissions focused on the financial obligations owed by the Deceased to each of his children, as well as the parties’ respective financial resources and needs, including those needs arising from disability (the Claimant being a protected party).
H v H and Another
Andrew was instructed on behalf of the Claimant to draft pleadings and advise generally on this contentious probate claim. The Claimant sought interpretation of his later mother’s will, contending that he had been gifted the house absolutely. His brother resisted, claiming that the house had in fact been left to him only so long as their mother’s cats lived. The claim succeeded at trial on the interpretation argument, and the Defendants were removed as personal representatives of the estate.
K and Another v M
Andrew was instructed by the Claimants in their claim for possession, which was met with defences both under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1998 and in proprietary estoppel. The matter concerned a property purchased and mortgaged in the names of two sisters, but occupied by their brother, with the deposit having been in part paid by another brother. At trial, HHJ Sephton KC concluded that the truth was somewhere in the middle, and made orders accordingly.
