Best Answer

Mrs Gallie made a will leaving her house to her nephew, Parkin. Parkin's friend Lee was in debt. Through a series of circumstances Lee tricked Mrs. Gallie into signing a document that Lee told her was a gift deed to her nephew, Parkin. She couldn't read it because she had broken her glasses. She signed it. It was a deed to Lee.

Lee mortgaged the house to the Anglia Building Society. He defaulted and the lender sought possession of the house. Mrs. Gallie sued on the claim that the deed was void under the doctrine of non est factum. When she died the case was taken over by her her executor, Saunders. Judgment was entered for the Anglia Building Society because Mrs. Gallie had signed the document without having informed herself of its meaning.

The official citation for the case in the UK is Saunders v Anglia Building Society [1970] 3 All ER 961.

The case is named Saunders v Anglia Building Society because Saunders is the name of the plaintiff who brought the case against Anglia Building Society. The convention in legal cases is to title them based on the names of the parties involved in the dispute.
