Gatehouse Chambers is ‘a strong chancery set with a big private client team at all levels of strength in depth’. Brie Stevens-Hoare KC recently acted for the claimant in Pidsley & Pidsley v Spencer, challenging a will which is alleged to have had the signatures of its witnesses procured by fraud on the part of the deceased’s stepdaughter. Charlotte John is ’incredibly thorough and leaves no stone unturned’ and is representing the claimant in Ellis v Care, a probate and proprietary estoppel dispute in which the brother of the deceased farmer questioned the capacity of his brother to make the will.
