I apologise, I will try and elaborate. He submitted a statement which contained NO evidence of his medical needs, finances whatsoever. His NWNF solicitor (incidently a one man band professional accident claim website) Submitted nothing but an exaggerated costs budget that came to £250k. However, we have submitted his consultants letter stating he is fit to drive. His JSA claim plus various social media posts where he manages to holiday abroad alone, live a very active social life that does not befit a man on benefits, along with various abusive text messages he sent once probate had been granted. Incidently he also openly admits living on benefits and claiming housing benefit while not declaring £40k received. The "Allow" question is that should a solicitor not obtain concrete facts and evidence that his client is being truthful before making a claim? Also, what is "security of costs"? I understand if he fails he will be liable for our costs, will they be extracted from his share of the estate or would he be billed for them?

One of my family has taken out an inheritance claim against a will that left him already a substantial amount, he has slight brain damage but manages to take holidays abroad, gamble, drink and play golf a lot. He claims he was maintained when in reality he borrowed money off most of the family and didnt pay it back, he wants the entire estate. His entire statement is a web of deceit, he has exaggerated his health problems, not submitted any financial outgoings or medical records and yet STILL we are paying to defend this, which is costing us ££thousands. How does the legal system allow this to happen? Can somebody explain this to me please?
