About a year ago, I was researching and writing a legal blog on a 2019 inheritance case which had given rise to a lot of comment, on how the law of property and succession determines who is the survivor where the order in which people died is uncertain

Part of the history of this question of law is a case which arose out of the death of an officer of Sir John Franklin’s 1845 expedition to the Arctic in search of the North-West passage, a disaster, and a mystery, in which every life was lost. I pursued my interest in this story
And over the course of this year have researched and written about the life stories behind and beyond the case, a remarkable decision for its time, ultimately based on hearsay evidence from Inuit inhabitants of the Arctic, links below

I’m glad to have finished it, but also feel slightly bereft, as it’s an immersive story, and one which has not ended yet, as there is far more to be discovered from the wrecks of HMS Erebus and Terror
