The Edinburgh Centre for Private Law will host a symposium to discuss the monograph Claiming a Promised Inheritance: a Comparative Study (2022) by Edinburgh Law School's Professor Alexandra Braun.
The book examines those cases where a person is promised a future inheritance and, having acted on it, later discovers that the promise is unfulfilled. It maps and compares various form of redress available to testamentary promisees in a number of jurisdictions, and across both common law and civil law jurisdictions and evaluates the various forms of redress from the perspective of testamentary promisees, placing special emphasis on whether the vulnerabilities and interests of those promisees are protected.
Gathering to present and discuss their reactions to book will be:
Professor David Cabrelli (University of Edinburgh)
Professor Rosie Harding (University of Birmingham)
Professor John Mee (University College, Cork)
Dr Flora Vern (University of Glasgow)
