‘The doctrine of donatio mortis causa has been placed within new parameters by the Court of Appeal in King v Dubrey. The doctrine is one of a handful that allow a testator to sidestep their will and the statutory safeguards of the Wills Act 1837 and the Law of Property 1925. As such, it comes with it the risk of attracting “unscrupulous treasure hunters” making fraudulent claims. The Court of Appeal, alert to this risk, sought to revert the doctrine’s expansion over the 19th and 20th centuries and place it within its “proper bounds”. This article seeks to analyse these proper bounds and to aid practitioners navigate the doctrine post-King.’

‘A frequent refrain of solicitors who represent respondents in Employment Tribunal proceedings is that it is virtually impossible to obtain a costs order against a claimant who has brought an unmeritorious claim, or that there are no consequences when outlandish allegations are made in pursuit of a claim. The case of Cairns v The Wellness Zone Case No: 2414495/2021 provides a salutary reminder to parties engaged in Employment Tribunal proceedings that, in an appropriate case, the Tribunal will exercise its costs jurisdiction, and not merely in a token way. The case also serves as a cautionary tale for claimants making serious allegations in pursuit of their claims.’
