The Court held the right to apply under the Inheritance Ordinance is not an accrued enforceable cause of action vested in the applicant at her death; entitlement is determined by facts known at the hearing and the statutory scheme contemplates a living applicant; therefore the applicant's claim abated on death and the strike out and refusal to allow the personal representative to carry on were correct.
