The High Court held the Family Court was entitled to find the testator unconsciously underestimated his moral duty to his adult children and breached that duty; the Family Court's award of $50,000 per child (approx 40% of the estate) was a lawful exercise of discretion and not plainly wrong on appeal; consequently the appeal was dismissed.
