My article ‘Downton revisited – Mediating estate disputes involving art and heritage assets’ has been published in Taxation (Tolley) online and will be published in print for worldwide distribution tomorrow. I will put up a link on the ‘Publications’ page of my website when I receive this from the editor. See https://lnkd.in/eeP3-vCY.
My article ‘Commercial Mediation of Music Disputes’ was published in the Law Society Gazette – Google ‘Music Dispute Mediator’ to find (NB today the article appears near the top of page 1 worldwide), or here

The article will also feature in a forthcoming Newsletter of the Society of Mediators in London (of which I a member), and be distributed to thousands of members worldwide. There is also a link on the ‘Publications’ page and ‘Commercial Mediation of Music Disputes’ page at www.carlislam.co.uk. Both articles, like all of my publications this year (which you will find on the ‘Publications’ page of my website), are written for legal and mediation practitioners. They are not academic. They are practical. ‘Downton revisited’ also includes the outline of two post-death estate re-structuring strategies which I pioneered whilst writing the article. As far as I am aware, these specific tax-efficient strategies, have not been discussed in any previous literature published by Tolley. They appear at the end of the article in a Table headed ‘General questions for mediators’, where these mediator tools are outlined under the sub-headings:
– ‘Private treaty sale’; and
– ‘Engineering restitution.’

In my free time, I am currently researching and writing the 2nd edition of the ‘Contentious Probate Handbook’ for publication by the Law Society in 2024. The draft book is currently on schedule for publication and contains a brand new chapter about Mediation, Mediation Advocacy, and Mediating Estate Disputes, including digital mediation by Zoom/TEAMS. Over the next 6 weeks I am writing up a Practice Note to appear as an Appendix in the Book about ‘Advocacy in Contentious Probate Hearings and Trials’. I have also been commissioned by Trusts & Trustees (Oxford University Press), to contribute an in-depth article after I have completed the book entitled, ‘Deaccessioning & Repatriation – Duties & Powers of Museum Trustees.’ This follows on from the Diploma in Art Law Course that I have been undertaking at the Institute of Art & Law in London since 2021, and am now in the final stage of completing. Meanwhile, let me take this opportunity to wish all readers of my posts a Joyful Christmas and a Happy and Peaceful New Year! As a CMC Registered Mediator I cannot stress the word ‘Peaceful’ enough, so let’s hope that is how it turns out for you and your clients.
Merry Christmas!
