A Curious Irish Case: Wife’s Funeral Expenses

A rather peculiar case was heard in the Limerick Quarter Sessions recently, involving Lord Muskerry being sued for his late wife’s funeral expenses. Lady Muskerry had been separated from her husband through a legal deed of separation, and she passed away in France about a year ago. Following her death, her brother sent a message to her husband, but Lord Muskerry took no action, leaving the burden of arranging the funeral and covering the costs to the brother. It is the brother who has now brought the lawsuit, and Judge Adams ruled in his favour, stating that the husband was accountable under any circumstances. If Lord Muskerry decides to appeal, there may be some legal points to consider when the higher court addresses the case.
