- High Court
The Court validated the unsigned 2022 draft Will under s14 because the documentary and email evidence, together with solicitor instructions and the parties' agreement, showed the draft reflected the deceased's testamentary intention. The s14 application was permitted to be commenced as an originating application in the Wellington Registry and service was dispensed with. The Court declined to make a grant of Letters of Administration and declined to permit the Letters of Administration application to be commenced as an originating application.
