Publication of the Court of Appeal judgement in Bogg v Raper (The Times 22nd April 1998) has served to focus attention on exoneration clauses again, following the previous recent review in Armitage v Nurse (1998) All ER 705`.

Whilst some may take comfort in the court finding for the executors of the will, the return of this subject does raise awkward questions for those who are profes­sionally involved with the administration of estates and trusts and seek the protection of exoneration clauses.
