STEP NSW Branch invites you to a seminar with Jane Needham SC, Barrister, 13th Floor St James' Hall.

Topic: Promissory estoppel or other equitable claims in the family provision claims context

This topic will cover:

Families are complex, and litigation about families in the estate context even more so. In the context of estate litigation, the question often arises – what is the best path forward and through for my client? Assuming that capacity is not in question, the common options are to seek family provision orders or equitable remedies (such as promissory estoppel, or enforcement of a testamentary promise). What are the important matters that need to be considered when formulating an approach for the client, and what are the risks of throwing the baby out with the bathwater? Jane will consider recent Court of Appeal and first instance cases such as Bassett v Bassett [2021] NSWCA 320, Soulos v Pagones [2023] NSWCA 243, and (if delivered by the time of the seminar) the appeal from Wild v Meduri [2023] NSWSC 113.
