- High Court
The Court was satisfied on the balance of probabilities that the 2008 document expressed the deceased's testamentary intentions and, given the statutory purpose of s14 and the residual nature of the discretion, there were no sufficient reasons to refuse validation; orders were made validating the 2008 document as the deceased's will.
