The court held the applicant did not possess an accrued/enforceable cause of action under the Inheritance Ordinance at the time of her death because entitlement to relief is contingent on facts and the exercise of judicial discretion by reference to facts known at the date of the hearing (s5(7)); accordingly the claim did not survive for the benefit of her estate and the appeals were dismissed.
