    Court
    Court of Appeal

    On the evidence before the Court the deceased had testamentary capacity and there was no proper evidence of undue influence; the appellant's procedural complaints were undermined by his failure to file timely affidavit and the High Court was entitled to resolve the factual disputes on the s 61 mini-trial and make the order nisi absolute, so the appeal is dismissed.
