- High Court
The Court held that the draft document appeared to be a codicil, it did not comply with s11 because it was unsigned, and on the sworn evidence of the solicitor and supporting executors together with the consents of affected beneficiaries the Court was satisfied it expressed the deceased's testamentary wishes; accordingly the Court granted validation under s14 (with s8(3)(e) permitting a codicil to be treated as a 'will').
