Abstract
Abstract An examination and discussion of the recent decision of the High Court (His Honour Judge Matthews) in Lines v Wilcox [2019] EWHC 1451 (Ch), concerning the availability of Beddoe relief in the context of proceedings involving trusts and estates. The fact pattern will be familiar to any practitioner in this field, and the decision is therefore of wide application. Specifically, the article considers the decision of the High Court to refuse Beddoe relief to an administrator of an estate who sought permission to prosecute a claim to set aside an inter vivos transfer of property made by the deceased in favour of a beneficiary named in her will.
