Introduction
Joss acted for the defendant in Bracey v Curley [2022] EWHC 359 (Ch) a claim for the construction and/or rectification of a will before Philip Mott QC – sitting as a deputy high court judge in the Business and Property Courts in Bristol. The claim offers a useful insight to the court’s approach to rectification claims following the Supreme Court’s decision in Marley v Rawlings, as well as consideration of the circumstances in which the court will make a non-party costs order against the will-drafting solicitors, even when the rectification claim is successful.
