Chichester Diocesan Fund and Board of Finance Incorporated v Simpson was an English unjust enrichment case the House of Lords heard.

Case Summary[edit]

A Mr. Caleb Diplock had left money in his will to set up the Chichester Diocesan Fund to benefit various charities including a local girl's school. His nephew, a man named Mr. Simpson, contested the will on the grounds that the contract that set up the fund was invalid due to his uncle's having been induced to add the clause to his will by the future trustees. The House of Lords ruled that the clause in the will was invalid.
