KCC 178/2001 issued on 17/11/2002

This case involved the status of a will where there were two bequests and heirs had died.

Background

The claimants filed a case against the defendants before the court. They requested the court to dismiss the formal announcement dated on 18/10/1961. The claimants said that the deceased man had changed the first bequest by issuing a new one.

The court dismissed the case.

The claimants appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court dismissed the appealed ruling and dismissed the case.

The claimants appealed the ruling before the court of cassation. They said in their grounds of appeal that the appealed ruling had erred in the application of law and had insufficient evidence of causation. They said that the court established its ruling on the grounds that the deceased man had not changed the bequest though he changed the bequest because the supposed heirs had died.
