- High Court
The Court declared the 18 April 2020 document to be the deceased's last will because it was created in New Zealand, the evidence showed it expressed the deceased's testamentary intentions, all potentially affected persons consented, and the Court exercised its s 14 jurisdiction to validate a document that did not comply with s 11 owing to COVID-19 restrictions and urgency.
