The High Court decision in McDaniel v Talbot & Anor [2026] EWHC 928 (Ch), handed down on 17 April 2026, shows that being left out of a Will does not always mean you have no claim. In the case, Emma McDaniel brought a claim under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975 after her father died leaving his estate to his widow under a 2014 Will which specifically excluded her. The Will said: โ€œI DECLARE that I have NOT made any provision in my Will for my son Rhys Winstone whom I have never met nor my daughter Emma Winstone who I last saw about twenty years ago. I do not have contact with either of them.โ€...

Crypto is becoming a more commonly used destination for those looking to invest but there are many high street firms that will refuse to accept crypto for the use of deposit or balance payments when purchasing a property. Why isnโ€™t it accepted by some firms? Unfortunately, many looking to invest do not appreciate the difficulties the legal sector can encounter when assessing and considering source of funds for AML and due diligence purposes. As solicitors; we have a duty to investigate the source and validity of funds that would pass through our accounts and very few can be more difficult to trace and consider than crypto investments...

Selling a property? Don't cancel your buildings insurance at exchange โ€” keep it in place until completion.
Until completion, you remain the legal proprietor. If something goes wrong in that window and you're uninsured, the consequences can be serious.

Disputes over assets, pensions and maintenance were resolved in confidential hearings with limited opportunity for media reporting. That position has changed significantly in recent years. Since 2024, new transparency reforms across England and Wales have allowed accredited journalists and legal bloggers to attend many financial remedy hearings. While anonymity protections remain strong, the reforms represent a notable shift in how the Family Court operates. Understanding these changes is important for anyone navigating or considering financial proceedings.

The New Transparency Rules
The reforms arise from the Transparency Reporting Pilot, introduced in January 2024 and now implemented across all financial remedy courts. The pilot allows accredited journalists and approved legal bloggers to observe hearings and report on what they see, with the aim of increasing public understanding of the family justice system. Reporting, however, is only permitted under strict conditions. Judges usually issue a Transparency Order specifying what information can be published, ensuring sensitive details are safeguarded....

Major changes to the law on unfair dismissal are on the way, and employers should start preparing now. From 1 January 2027, employees will gain protection much earlier in their employment and, in some cases, compensation exposure could increase significantly. For businesses, this is the right time to review contracts, policies, probation processes and dismissal procedures...

Cases are taking more than double the amount of time to be concluded via the Employment Tribunal than a year ago. As at December 2025 there were 30,784 open cases. This is only likely to increase further with the changes brought about by the Employment Rights Act 2025. The reason for the backlog is that there are more new cases coming through quicker than the employment tribunal system can deal with the cases it already has!

There have been some recent proposals supported by the Employment Lawyers Association. The suggested reforms include compulsory mediation for all claims and the introduction of a three-track tribunal structure based on the value and complexity of the dispute. The aim is to deal with straightforward claims more efficiently, encourage earlier settlement where possible, and allow more complex matters to be managed with procedures better matched to their scale...
