In re Perrins, deceased; Perrins v Holland and others [2010] EWCA Civ 840; [2010] WLR (D) 196

“In a case where a testator had testamentary capacity when he gave instructions for his will, the will as drafted embodied those instructions and when the testator executed his will a year later his testamentary wishes remained unchanged although he was no longer of full testamentary capacity, the principle in Parker v Felgate (1883) LR 8 PD 171, namely that it was not necessary to prove knowledge and approval of a will provided that (a) the testator believed that it gave effect to his instructions and (b) that it did in fact do so, applied.”

Regina (GC) v Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis; Regina (C) v Same [2010] WLR (D) 193

“When it was not possible to reconcile a decision of the House of Lords in relation to the proportionality and legitimacy of the indefinite retention on the United Kingdom’s Police National Computer of biometric data obtained in the course of criminal investigations with a subsequent holding by the European Court of Human Rights that the policy was unlawful, the doctrine of precedent and legal certainty demanded that the Divisional Court should follow the decision of the House of Lords, notwithstanding that both the previous government and the newly elected government of the United Kingdom had signalled their intention to amend the relevant legislation.”

“There was no reason to imply into the statutory scheme for the regulation of solicitors any provision or term entitling or obliging the Law Society to produce to a qualifying insurer documents emanating from a firm of solicitors into which it had intervened which were subject to the privilege of a client of the firm. If the client consented or his privilege was impliedly waived by a claim against the solicitor then there was no reason why the Law Society, as it had done, could not produce such documents to the qualifying insurer.”
