Beswick v. Beswick

Court of Appeal • 10

Would allow recovery (3rd party or executor) on either ground; purely procedural in which capacity she sues.

House of Lords • 30

Overrules Denning. The widow can only recover as representative of the estate. Otherwise, it is too great a change to replace doctrine of privity. Remedy: gives specific perofrmance on grounds it would be grossly unjust not to do so.
