    Court
    High Court

    Affidavit evidence from the attending solicitor and secretary established that the deceased signed the document and that there were two witnesses present although the second witness's endorsement was inadvertently omitted; the document therefore expresses the deceased's testamentary intentions and under s14(2) the Court declared it a valid will.
