Legal Decisions.
PROBATE, DIVORCE AND
ADMIRALTY
DIVISION (ENGLAND).
(Before Sir Henry Duke, President.)
IN THE ESTATE OF ROBERT GAULT, Deceased.
March 24, 1922.—
Re-sealing probate issued
by High Court of Justice of Northern Ireland
—
Government of Ireland Act,
1920, s.s. 38, 40—
Colonial Probates Act,
1892.
The testator died on November 28, 1921,
in London but domiciled
in Northern
Ireland. He left considerable estate com
prising both real and personal estate in
Northern Ireland, and personal estate in
England.
Probate of his Will had been
granted to his executors in the High Court
of
Justice, Northern
Ireland,
K.B.D-
(Probate), constituted by the Government
of Ireland Act, 1920. Duty on the whole
estate, including the part in England, had
been paid
to
the Ministry of Finance,
Northern Ireland. The executors had applied
to the Probate Registry in England to have
the grant re-sealed according to the usual
practice.
The Registrar had raised
the
question whether, since the Government of
Ireland Act, 1920, had abolished the old
Irish Courts, the application ought not to
have been made under the Colonial Probates
Act, 1892, and refused to re-seal the probate
without the direction of the judge.
On behalf of the executors application was
made for an order that the grant be re-sealed
pursuant to the regulations hitherto in force.
Sir Henry Duke, P., said it was impossible
to apply the Colonial Probates Act to Ireland,
for that Act only applied to possessions to
which it had been directed by Order in
Council that it should apply, and no such
Order had been made with regard to Ireland.
But in his opinion it was clear that the
Government of Ireland Act, 1920, authorised
and required the re-sealing in England of
probates and letters of administration granted
by the High Court of Justice in Northern
Ireland, and accordingly he granted the
application.
