The court granted leave to appeal on Grounds 1, 4 and 6 because the defendant demonstrated reasonable prospects that LPP attaching to estate materials may not be lawfully asserted by an executrix under the contested later will against a rival claimant; the court refused leave on Grounds 2, 3, 5 and 7 for lack of reasonable prospects; and refused leave against Decision 1 because the third‑party discovery application was premature when made and became academic after pleadings were filed and issues crystallised.
