- High Court
The 12 May 2021 email manifested the testator's testamentary intention to make his daughter sole beneficiary; although it did not comply with s11 formalities, under s14 the Court may validate such a document when satisfied it expresses testamentary intention; accordingly the email is a valid codicil and amends the 3 November 2010 will as stated.
