Birt v The Public Trustee of Queensland [2013] QSC 13 is a very interesting read. The Court pronounced against the validity of the will.
What is fascinating though (OK, maybe only to succession lawyers!) is that A Lyons J found against the first limb of the Bank v Goodfellow test – she was not convinced that the testator was able to comprehend the nature of the act of making a will and its effect. I am not aware of any cases which have found against this limb (although I’m sure there are some, somewhere in history).

starting up a new online blog directory and was
wondering if I can submit your website? I’m hoping
to mature my directory slowly by hand so that it
retains good quality. I will make sure
and put your website in the correct category and I’ll
additionally use, “Recent Qld solemn form case | Caite Brewer” as your anchor text. Please let me know if this is
acceptable with you by emailing me at: latoyaisaac@googlemail.com.
Thank you
