Vice-Chancellors Court Nov 17 Cooke v Collingsidge
In a long record the case centers on John Cooke the residuary legatee and the co partners Collingridge and Co. The 1817 partnership articles renewed for seven years from 1811 planned equal capital and profits with survivor rights. The dispute questions whether the partnership continued after W Cooke’s death and if the residuary legatee should share profits and capital accordingly.
