The Registrar's requisitions were correctly raised because r53 NCPR requires a 'duly authenticated copy of the will' which the Certified Canadian Grant enclosing only a 'copy will' did not strictly satisfy; however r53 is permissive ('may') and the Court has discretion to accept alternative proof. In the specific circumstances the Master found the copy will to be a true and proper copy and, to avoid further time and cost and without creating precedent, waived the requisitions and permitted the application to proceed.
