The court granted summary judgment pronouncing the Will valid in solemn form because the plaintiff proved due execution, satisfied the burden on testamentary capacity and that the deceased knew and approved the Will on the balance of probabilities, and the defendant failed to addu cease cogent evidence to raise triable issues; non‑compliance with the 'golden rule' did not in itself defeat the application.
