- High Court
The court found the deceased's mental and physical deterioration produced anxiety, depression and impaired rationality at the time he wrote the suicide note, so he lacked testamentary capacity and the note did not express testamentary intentions under s14; consequently the 17 November 1999 will, made when he was of sound mind, was admitted to probate.
