Question
White and another v Jones and others [1995] 2 AC 207
Answer
Facts: The plaintiffs were two daughters who were bringing an action against the defendants, their late father’s solicitors. The daughters had previously quarreled with their father and he had written a new will which had cut them out of his estate as a result. They were then reconciled and the father called his solicitors to ask them to change his will to give his daughters each £9,000 as had previously been the case. Despite calling to remind his solicitor two months later, the will was not altered in time, and the father died. The plaintiffs brought an action in negligence against the solicitors alleging that a duty of care was owed to them. The Court of Appeal found for the plaintiffs, and the solicitors appealed to the House of Lords arguing that no duty of care existed in these situations.
