CPD Webi­nar event: 5 Feb­ru­ary 2025 at 8.30am, host­ed by John Trinh, Spe­cial Coun­sel, Swaab and Daniel Yaz­dani, Bar­ris­ter, 13 St James. Knowl­edge area: Sub­stan­tive law, Explor­ing the role of expert evi­dence and lay evi­dence in tes­ta­men­tary capac­i­ty cases

Recent cas­es have shown that expert evi­dence is not the only evi­dence that a Court will rely on in deter­min­ing whether a per­son had tes­ta­men­tary capac­i­ty and lay evi­dence is equal­ly impor­tant. In this webi­nar, John Trinh and Daniel Yaz­dani, explore role of expert evi­dence and lay evi­dence in tes­ta­men­tary capac­i­ty cas­es as dis­cussed in the deci­sions of Ander­son v Yong­pairo­j­wong [2023] NSWSC 1359, Ander­son v Yong­pairo­j­wong [2024] NSWS­CA 220 and Green v Green [2024] NSWSC 1442.
