Moore v Holdsworth and Others: ChD 12 Mar 2010

The claimant sought reasonable provision from the estate of her late husband. She suffered advanced multiple sclerosis, and the estate was relatively small, from which she was to receive pounds 40,000. She sought all of it.
Held: It would be wrong to grant the claimant the entire estate. She should be awarded a life interest in the property, and the right to reside in the house.
