- Court
- High Court
The Court was satisfied the Korean handwritten documents and envelopes, taken together, expressed the deceased's testamentary intentions and accordingly validated them as a codicil under s14; because the Will did not reflect those intentions the Court corrected the Will under s31, deleting Clauses 3 and 4 and substituting provisions appointing Shaun McGivern trustee and implementing the specified monetary allocations and residue distribution.
