In re Vandervell’s Trusts; Vandervell Trustees Limited v White and Others: CA 1970

The deceased had sought to create a trust to benefit the Royal College of Surgeons. The parties disputed its tax effect.
Held: Lord Denning MR said: ‘We will in this court give the rule a wide interpretation so as to enable any party to be joined wherever it is just and convenient to do so. It would be a disgrace to the law that there should be two parallel proceedings in which the self same issue was raised, leading to difficult and inconsistent results. It would be a disgrace in this very case if the special commissioners should come to one result and a judge in the chancery division should come to another result as to who was entitled to these dividends.’
Lord Denning MR
[1970] Ch 44
