The Dictionary of TLATA and Inheritance Act Claims sets out the key concepts, cases and practice in four important areas where family law overlaps with the law of trusts and real property: (i) the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996 (‘TLATA’); (ii) applications for financial provision pursuant to the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975; (iii) Schedule 1 applications for financial relief for children; and (iv) an overview of civil procedure and the Civil Procedure Rules 1998. This publication contains a procedural guide and table of relevant cases.
The book is divided into sections with an easy-to-use A-Z format and detailed footnotes. Each entry contains a practice note, citing the leading cases and practice points. It contains procedural guides and tables of relevant cases and statutory material. The book distils the experience of the authors and aims to provide concise, practical and above all helpful guide to everything from detriment to cost budgeting, and from classes of applicants to the rights of engaged couples.
This 2024 edition has been fully updated to include changes and developments in the law from the last 12 months and includes a comprehensive new section on Intervenors, consisting of: Case Management in Intervenor Claims; Costs in Intervenor Claims; Family Court's Role in Intervenor Claims; Joinder of Intervenor as a Party and Subject Matter of an Intervenor Claim. There are also new entries on illegality, Unjust Enrichment, Variation of Equitable Interests and Interim Provision.
The guidance is packed into a portable A4 book, which will be updated annually, which will make the Dictionary of TLATA and Inheritance Act Claims the perfect court companion and trusted library reference.

"Where this Dictionary breaks new ground – and this is a really important and exciting innovation – is in bridging the very different worlds of family and chancery, each, even now, still very much a foreign country to the other.”
"This is an important and ambitious exposition of some very technical areas of law but grounded in the practicalities and realities of practice at the coal face."
