Our collection of legal typos continues to grow – and some of them would make Russell Brand blush. In the more printable category, Edm und Coxhead of PCB Solicitors recalls being intrigued by the mention of an ‘enjoyment rug’ in a typed-up draft of a will.

Disappointingly, it turned to be an engagement ring.

Lynn Hughes, director of legal services at Riverside, contributes some choice examples from her early career in private practice. A letter stating that a property ‘demised as a bungalow’ came back as ‘disguised as a bungalow’. A personal injury letter enquiring after a female client’s back problem was fortunately stopped before it went out with the words ‘I would be grateful if you could call me to discuss your fat problem’. There was another one, which we’ve decided to ignore.

Moving swiftly on, Sandra Bond of Laurus Law says that she is always careful to proofread the headings of letters ever since she caught one addressed to the highly reputable firm Whittles – but with the W replaced by the letter beneath it on the keyboard. And Julian Young of Julian Young & Co escaped what might have been a very nasty run-in with the bench when he spotted that a reference to the late Judge Anwyl-Davies QC was typed up as His Honour Judge Animal Davies QC. ‘Those who appeared in front of that learned judge can decide whether this was a deliberate or innocent error.’

More, please – but keep them clean.
