- Court of Appeal
The Court held there was no breach of moral duty by the deceased parents to the appellant; the provision left (circa NZD 1.05 million) was adequate for proper maintenance and support given estate size, testamentary intention to preserve farm for son, inter vivos contributions and absence of economic need; indemnity costs to Rachel were appropriate as she was a necessary party whose inheritance could be affected, and the costs were not plainly unreasonable.
