The Registrar's dismissal was set aside because, while the heading 'Attestation' alone did not satisfy s11(4)(b), the solicitor-witness affidavit established the omission of a conventional attestation clause was a clerical error; s14 relief is unavailable for pre-1-Nov-2007 wills, but s31 may permit correction to insert an appropriate attestation clause, and the proper procedure is a formal interlocutory s31 application with service on potentially affected persons.
