Whilst researching for my essay on the Beswick v Beswick contract law case which Peter Beswick sold his business to his nephew John Beswick in return for a promise to pay £6 a week to Peter Beswick for the rest of his life and thereafter £5 a week to Peter Beswick's widow for the rest of her life. Upon Peter's death John stopped making the payments to Peter's widow which resulted in her taking action against him this was thrown out as the contract was only between Peter & John she wasn't a party in the contract.
