“The principles of testamentary capacity are well settled: a testator must understand the nature of the act of making a will, the extent of the property of which he is disposing, and the persons who may have a claim upon that property: Banks v Goodfellow (1870) LR 5 QB 549. Further, the proposed dispositions must not be poisoned or influenced by any disorder of the mind.”

“A restitutionary award made on the basis of unjust enrichment where the benefit was in the form of services was normally to be assessed by reference to the objective market value of the services, tested by the price which a reasonable person in the defendant’s position would have had to pay for the services, and taking into account conditions which increased or decreased the objective value of the benefit to any reasonable person in that position.”

“A heresy usually derives from the earnest application of principle without the benefit of perspective. Addressing the rule in Hastings Bass, and its heretical application over many years by the High Court, the Supreme Court in Pitt v Holt and Futter v Futter [2013] uKSC 26 has greatly narrowed its use and effect.”

“A recent case in the Chancery Division is the latest in a series concerning payment of rent as a condition of exercising a break clause: Marks & Spencer Plc v BNP Paribas Securities Services Trust Co (Jersey) Ltd [2013] EWHC 1279; [2013] 22 EG 92. In this series of cases, tenants have sought to overcome the apparent unfairness of paying quarterly rent due in advance as a condition of exercising a break clause part way through a quarter, leading to an overpayment of rent when compared pro rata to the period of actual occupancy.”

“Local authorities have a duty not to spend public money on propaganda for a political party. Section 4 of the Local Government Act 1986 provides for a Code of recommended practice as regards publicity. Councils which fail to follow its requirements may find themselves in breach of s 2 of the LGA 1986 and subject to judicial review. Hence councils act with caution in this area. Declan O’Dempsey writes about recent work on the Local Audit and Accountability Bill, which should encourage local authorities to rebut factually inaccurate stories put out by political parties, perhaps event during the election “purdah” period.”

“There is a curious if not bizarre set of anomalies about planning and environmental challenges. Where they involve an attack on a decision by the Secretary of State (typically in respect of a decision by a planning inspector after inquiry), the route is via section 288 of the Town & Country Planning Act 1990. There is a strict 6 week time limit, with no discretion to extend – but no need for permission to apply as in judicial review. But where there is a challenge to any other decision, the time limit (at the moment) is 3 months, with discretion to extend – but also a discretion to disallow if the application was not ‘prompt’ even within the 3 months (see my post on this last point) and the permission hurdle to clear.”
