The appeal is dismissed because the Court of Appeal upheld the trial judge's findings that the attesting witnesses did not attest the 2006 will and that expert handwriting and scientific evidence demonstrated the signatures were highly skilled simulations; the judge properly considered inherent improbabilities and appropriately weighed and excluded inappropriate comparison samples, leading to an unassailable conclusion that the 2006 will was a forgery; indemnity costs were justified given the defendant knowingly advanced a forged document.
